kstein Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 A truly wonderful and unique show. Would it hold up today? Unquestionably, the horn book would. Stellar writing and arranging, and performed very, very well. The guard work was outstanding. I would question the drum book and drill. While they were part of that overall very good and enjoyable show, I think they were the weaker parts of the overall package, so I'm not sure that they (and therefore the overall show) would hold up today. Still, I would love to see that show again LIVE, rather than on DVD/tape/whatever. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Those were always the weak spots....the visual didn't really come along until 89, and the drums never really did for me. Still...a corps that NEVER got the credit it deserved.

And one of the greatest crimes in drum corps is that Suncoast was never voted into the Classic Countdown... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
