bucmellow Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 SCV's Company front then their immediate exit off the field. Nothing else comes close1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Smith Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 The very thought that the Troopers MIGHT make finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marchedmanymoonsago Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Luv SCV. No doubt. Aside from the score...guard in large sweeping skirts, ballet-theme, scatter drill into a company front, and classy exit off the back side-line... but it's all been done before. ALL of it. Yes, App Spring has been done by many corps over the decades, but no one can deny the close similarities of this year's SCV show to Garfield Cadets 1987 Championship show. Is it a coincidence that the designer for the SCV production this year also marched Garfield 1987? I'd love to give credit where credit is due, so thank you Garfield.

Creekomega Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Id like to add Crossmen's ballad to this list. Screamer into big impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tradition Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 SCV & Scouts performing their corps songs for each other in the parking lot at Allentown. Does it for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman1084 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I would add Bluecoats' "Imagine" and the Cavies' ballad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched 87 Cadets again just now for about the 100th time it seems. And the guard approach is pretty different. SCV is all about Martha!! Scatter drill into the company front at the end is also different. Cadets don't hit the company front until the final hit. Exit back side-line could be a tribute. Although they've all done that before. SCV's approach is one of constant build and staying true to the original as much as possible. Cadets opened up a lot more throughout the show also. They have two of those moments in the first few minutes. SCV doesn't. Oh, and SCV played App Spring before 87. Even though it's been pointed out a lot on here.
