What's the Best DCI show NOT to win?


Recommended Posts

My favorites are 93 Star, 89 Phantom, 04 Blue Devils, 06 Phantom... and others. My vote went to 93 Star, I love that show. So intense, from start to finish. The minimalism in some parts is incredible. It sucks me in, and then blows me away at the climaxes. Love it, love it, love it.

I almost voted for 04 BD. Oh. My. God. Great corps.

And of course I went with Bluecoats 2010 for the second question.

I'm a bit saddened that you have only considered the last 25yrs. I went for SCV 1987 from the list, but given the choice I would have gone for SCV 1975! a seriously underrated and I feel forgotten show due to Madison's dominance that year.

95 Madison Scouts

True. But the 1974 Madison Scouts not winning at Ithaca was far worse. They dominated the season and won DCI prelims by a fairly good margin over the Kingsmen & SCV. Just didn't happen for them on finals night.

09 Crown

07 Cadets

03 Cavaliers

93 Star

95\96 Madison. - while they had their reasons for not winning.. the fact that they still stand out as much as they do gets them on the list.

87 SCV

Would all make my list.

Where's the love for all DCI years?

My fav non-winner...1980 27th Lancers, followed by 1988 BD.

I was there in 74. Kingsmen performance remains an all time fav, Madison was outdone by SCV on that night. 1974 probably helped Madison for their 1975 effort.

Was also there for 84. BD was absolutely on fire - Cadets were celebrating 50 years - and West Side Story stole the show.

:rolleyes::rolleyes: I think Star 93 should have been 3rd if not 4th. I think the Cavaliers should have won last year. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

My choice - Phantom '89. I think it held up as a masterpiece for many, many years after, too.

Honorable mentions - 2008 Blue Devils (Constantly Risking Absurdity), 2003 Cavaliers (Spin Cycle), 1991 Cavaliers (Cavalier Anthems - The Advent Collection).

2008 Blue Devils were robbed. That was the best of these Cirque style shows that BD has put out there these past few years.
