pfco Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Curious...what was the longest chord any corps has done? This topic may have been posted already but I searched and did not find it anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flervinuveling Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 not sure. but with my limited knowledge of drum corps, i'd have to say maybe maybe madison. they like to hold their last note of ice castles, or whatever encore song they play, while their drum major reads the newspaper/eats a banana/goes to the top tier of the stadium/calls their mom/whatever before cutting them off. or in an actual show, their 97 show when the drum major did he whole pirate flag of awesomeness thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Smith Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I haven't seen all of the shows ever... but I think Crown 07's opening statement arrival chord should earn a nod as far as long chords go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything past '04 is just a feeble attempt at copying what Madison and BD had in the late 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldsmith1210 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) 97 Crossmen had a very long chord at the end. Edited October 31, 2009 by Goldsmith1210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrinkinOuttaCups Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 What about the chord at the end of the company front from SCV's show this year? That seemed to go on for a while...no complaints, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
