Abbevillekid26 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I saw it live. I wouldn't put it anywhere close to the top for 2004. I was disappointed, actually. Agreed except I didn't see it live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetJ Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I saw it in person at my second show ever and remembered absolutely nothing about it until I saw it at the countdown and have been hooked ever since. One of my favorite shows definitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flervinuveling Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I saw it live a few times and I know you don't want to hear this, but it kinda bored me. Definitely not as much as a couple other corps that year. But having seen it live and listened to it even more, I can't hum a single lick from it. I do remember it being pretty clean though.

Spaml6 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 It was my first DCI show that I ever went to. Hershey, PA in 04. I saw Crossmen, Blue Devils, and Santa Clara. SCV was easily my favorite show of the night. (I knew drum corps, was marching Empire Statesmen that summer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBarron10 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I loved SCV's brass book and drums. I don't like to use such strong words, but I hated the guard. Tacky was the word that came to my mind when I saw them in Denver. If the guard was not so tacky, they might have been in the hunt, but the Cavies had that James Bond theme down cold and BD was pushing the envolope with amplification ... great program for SCV in 04, but others were ahead just by a hair.

seanedwin Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 SCV 04 is one of the most under-rated shows. It fell under the radar due to the Cavaliers' great production of 007, and a rockin Cadet's show. Also, in the same breath, Phantom's '04 Piazzolla show has some great arrangements as well.

fecontra Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I don't think it is one of the greatest shows of all time , with that said it is one of my five favorite shows. IT IS a great translation of a classical piece with a single theme , executed with supporting story visual from the guard. The drumline is an all time great , horns are spectacular in almost every measurable category. The marching book is extremely difficult , and therein lies the dirt they could never seem to completely eliminate, but is a classic Rosander book - my favorite is the rotating low brass blocks leading up to the climax. Check out Cavaliers 1995 or Phantom Regiment 1989 or Cadets 1987 if you enjoy a single theme classical piece translated to the D&B genre.

Eh, Phantom's show that year put me to sleep (literally, at the Indy show). But I'm surprised you didn't mention Blue Devils. That and 03 are my two favorite BD shows of all time! Phenomenal hornline! Man, 04 was such an awesome year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
