Just A Plain Old Fan Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 You may or may not find it toward the end of a clips vid of that year I hate to be a stooge, but you know where you can watch all those shows? The DCI Fan Network. I've got a subscription, and every time I read these "favorite" threads, I can just zip over there and watch the show...it's pretty cool, you've got to admit. DCI, where's my referral fee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hostrauser Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 This may seem like an unlikely choice, but I'm going to say the percussion solo to the end of the chart in the '92 Crossmen show. Good call. Bones' battery that year was a beast, especially the snare line. That remains one of my Top 5 all-time favorite percussion features in DCI. While it was weird seeing them place above both Vanguard AND Phantom, they earned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandoContraAlum Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Was she REALLY? I know Suncoast used sign language in a number of their shows (83, 84, and 88 off the top of my head), but I had never heard she herself was. I don't believe so, or at least I had never heard this.

wishbonecav Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) I'll just add another Star mention...1988: they hit some powerful chords throughout the show, but man they are putting out some sound at the end of Porgy and Bess. Do we even hear power chords like this anymore?Goosebumps moments at: 1:06-1:22 5:10-5:20 10:15-10:26 10:39-end Huge goosebumps moment: 10:27-10:38 Man, I miss those G bugles :lol: At UB, a moment is singular and easy to define and recall At Purdue, a moment is obviously plural and relatively obscure You forgot Bluecoats 92 closer, push to the end chords! The Beatles!!! Edited July 24, 2009 by wishbonecav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishbonecav Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 BD, Tommy 1990 last minute Curt Gowdy: "The Blue Devils have changed the last minute of their show recently and it is really bringing the house down" You said it!! LOUD! OMG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimchim Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Santa Clara '99 opener: from the incredibly clean power chord at around 0:37, the difficulty of the brass "scattered pod" section, the serpentine form unwinding, the final wedge. Mysterious, powerful, maybe the best use of backfield sound ever, perfect featuring across the field -- and an electric crowd. The last minute of Madison '88 (wow, the soul and passion of that perfect melli solo, then the spinning corps move, and the decelerando). The extraordinary visual beauty of the last minute of Cadets 2000. '87 Cadets exploding company front, to the end. '88 SCV last minute -- INCREDIBLY loud reentrance of brass with the corps towards the back of the field, and then that angled company front with the extra musical count... For visuals, '06 Cavies accelerating pinwheel thingie... '86 Blue Devils last min. / 1.5 min. -- man, the sopranos nailed that! Cadets '84: Barbara's solo, then the start of the closer. Best solo in DCI history, and best sudden contrast -- from tears-in-your-eyes beauty, to sudden pulsating excitement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumcorpsfan471 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Just thought of another one. Cubano section in Cavies '04 show. Man I loved that part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
