skajerk Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 In 1984, there were 5 words that did it for me: Live, from Sacramento... THE FREELANCERS! However I also loved '84 Phantom's Scythian Suite entrance (yes, I prefer this one over the '06 version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troon8 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I'm "young," so the Esteemed Elders who were marching around in the 20th century will have to be forgiving, but I have to go with one the best one I've seen live: Vanguard 2004. Without the battery, it would've been just Pretty Darn Good, but with them ka-thwacking away like there's no tommorow...worth admission to Finals just for that!!

dc oldtimer Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Jim, that gets my vote too. There have been a whole bunch of great opening statements from many corps over the years... Spirit 1980, Blue Devils 1996, among others... but there's something about that particular one from the Scouts. Sheer, unadulterated power....from a mile away. LOL. Definitely had that "this is OUR show to win" vibe to it. ... and to think this was in the day when the corps started from the back sideline. My face still peeled.
