When you think 2009...

[mfrontz]

Vanguard is making a run

[watersling]

1. the battle between Crown, Cavies & Cadets over the course of the seasons.

2. the trouble of the Phantom Regiment

3. the boldness of Vanguard to do a simplistic production

4. the introduction of the electronic (important, but I think people would forget about it over time)

5. the raise of Crusaders

6. the color and uniform choice of Crown

7. the double championship for the Blue Devils organization

8. the return of Troopers back into the final (I guess I haven't been in the activities long enough to find it to me significantly, but I respect others feeling as well)

9. the dissatisfaction of the Lucas Oil Stadium

10. the number of rainout shows in the Midwest and all the illness reported.

tough for me to choose just one... I'd say the Troopers story is what I would consider to be what I will remember most. Such a talented corps that has a strong history and great people running and teaching them. I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with in the future seasons.

Crown is my next fav story... followed by SCV. Those shows were just amazing.

Which story, to you, defines the 2009 season?

wow...my lead story doesn't even make your list...how synthesizers apparently destroyed drum corps.

I believe this was the "good things of 2009" poll.

Not the "why dci sucks" poll.

The Flu

Indoor Finals

Less Vocals..more Synthsizer..next year...my guess...guitars

Undefeated seasons for both the OC and WC winners and from the same great organization

There was no option for "Dull, dull, dull" so I picked Crown as "best of the east".

Troops return to the top 12, and therefore, all 4 remaining corps in DCI from 1972 finals in top 12 again!

Vangaurds fabulous show!

Crown in 2nd and winning their first caption award at championships.
