CrunchyTenor Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Black Market Juggler Bayonne Bridgemen 1981 :lol: Don;t know if you got the year right and the name wrong, or vice versa. 1981 was "The Pursuit of the Lady." BMJ was 82. Garry in Vegas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 KKKRRRYYYYSTAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!! Yeah, now I get it. I dunno--compared to BD's ballad the same night ("FRANK IS AN AMERICAN BAD###"), SCV didn't have it so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlvalet Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 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. Someone explain to me how Crossmen and the corps that won percussion are even on the same sheets with regard to demand? Crossmen was a whole order of magnitude higher. One of the biggest jokes in DCI, IMHO. Play the game. Play only slow rolls. Set up everything with a check pattern. Hey, we'll give you high drums LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlvalet Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 You forgot Bluecoats 92 closer, push to the end chords! The Beatles!!! Bluecoats '92: Meh. End was ok. BD '90: I <3 that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffUsnaDB Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Start your clock at any point in the 1995 Madison show, and stop it 60 seconds later. You'll have your answer. Truly a show built solely for the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigscontrachik05 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 The last minute of the second piece of SCV's show in 1999. That lowbrass line was unreal! Combined with all that power and intensity the members threw in there, it made it my best minute of drum corps ever. The opener of that show is the close second best.

dannyboy Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Last minute of Spirit 80, Scouts 75, or Phantom Regiment 96 I'm with you on all three! "Let it Be Me" - black armbands and all... what a wall of sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idontwan2know Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 People have named most of the hype moments, but I love the little cool transitions and quiet moments as well. One in that vein: Blue Devils 1998 - the section that segues from Cool to One Hand, One Heart and then into Tonight. The layering of the mellophone solo over the contras playing the cool lick, the gorgeous playing of the sops on their first statement of One Hand, One Heart and then the way the transition to Tonight is prepared perfectly. It's just genius writing and beautifully played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jplattSCV Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Yeah, now I get it. I dunno--compared to BD's ballad the same night ("FRANK IS AN AMERICAN BAD###"), SCV didn't have it so bad. "FRANK IS AN AMERICAN #####" and "KRYSTAAAAAL" are why State of the Art II is a absolute must-have CD. Those are 2 of my all-time favorite shows from a musical standpoint and hearing them without the jackholes in the background is priceless.
