Todd Tanji Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 1. 2007 - Possibly my favorite drum corps show ever. 2. 2006 - One of the best overall staged and orchestrated shows ever. 3. 2008 - Totally bold and unique show concept done well. Guard was astounding. 4. 2001 - Monstrous musical madness. The ending just hammers you. 5. 2004 - One of the best usages of musical effects to portray a theme. 6. 2002 - Classic tunes. Got 3 standing O's at Finals in Madison. 7. 2003 - Fast, well-executed & cooooool. 8. 2005 - Kortrijk, Belgium - best drum corps crowd ever. You had to be there. 2009 will be near or at the top but waiting for time to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardman Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Here are mine: 1. 2008 - Constantly Risking Absurdity: Awesome music, great drill, and comedy! 2. 2004 - The SummerTrain Blues Mix: Favorite moments: Summertime, Take the "A" train and exit 3. 2006 - The Godfather, Part Blue: Gonna make you a show you can't refuse... 4. 2002 - Jazz: Music made in America: Some didn't like the Channel one suite redux, but I did. 5. 2000 - Methods of Madness: I really didn't like this one the first time I saw it, but it grew on me. 6. 2009 - 1930: This one could move up (season is not over yet). 7. 2003 - The Phenomenon of Cool: Over rated but you can't argue with that execution. 8. 2007 - Winged Victory: This one was boring except for the opener. 9. 2001 - Awayday Blue: I hated the music this year. Really hated it. 10. 2005 - Dance Derby of the Century: YOWZA!!! What a waste of a year and a good corps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbevillekid26 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 1. 2003 - needs no explanation 2. 2006 - like the godfather, liked the music, liked the drill forms 3. 2009 - cool music, don't mind the chairs 4. 2004 - awesome solos, cool theme 5. 2001 - moments of coolness like the tank treads 6. 2008 - just wasn't too entertaining for me, liked spartacus and samurai better. Performed it well just not my favorite 7. 2007 - if we were doing only the first half of shows this would be in the top. 8. 2005 - mehh... not really familiar with 2000 or 2002 to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMichael1230 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 2003 - The Phenomenon of Cool ? No the complete demonstartion of excellence. 2000 - The way they swept across that field from the beginning to the end, outstanding. Had the guard not used that "Blanket dance" yet another guard title would be theirs. 2007 - C'mon, no brainer, it was just downright intense, dark, forboding, everything the bad ### Blue Devils should be. 2001 - Sorry Tim, No "Snooze" here, Away day Blue was outstanding as was the excellence of that colorguard 2002 - If they only had one more week, and yes they should have won high guard, simple as that. 2008 - Constantly contending for the title, and doing it like only they can. The color on the field alone was brilliant. 2004 - Summertime + Blue Devils = Classic 2006 - ANother intense show title worthy (arent most of them ?) And another outstanding "scratch your head" colorguard 2009 - Chairs or no chairs, its still the Blue Devils and that makes them worthy of praise, who knows, maybe my next viewing will convert me !! 2005 - R.I.P. God, Even Madonna can make a bad record, right ?? Geoffrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeN Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 My shows in order, with only short comments - 1. 2000 - Methods of Madness - start to finish, they push the theme hard 2. 2004 - The SummerTrain Blues Mix - great drill, great horns, good drums 3. 2007 - Winged Victory - awesome first half, very good 2nd half 4. 2003 - The Phenomenon of Cool - see above - opener is an all-time classic. Rest, not so much. 5. 2005 - Dance Derby of the Century - best DCI narrator ever voice-wise, but the show runs out of steam 6. 2002 - Jazz: Music Made In America - for me, Channel One was the one that didn't fit. 7. 2001 - Awayday Blue - Awayday is just not an engaging song. And that's most of the show. 9. 2009 - 1930 - Jury is still out, but so far, it totally fragments after the opening. 8. 2008 - Constantly Risking Absurdity - I don't think it had the laser-like focus of an all-time show. 10. 2006 - The Godfather - probably my least favorite BD show ever. It had attitude, but that was all. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
