GeneralTsoChicken Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Tony Hall for the writing in 08. Tony Hall basically comes in and does that every season. It isn't just a Nick Scotella thing. Tony is the mad-hatter that connects most of the Phantom Regiment's visual from 93 until now. He usually comes in at least once a season to fix at least one thing. Some seasons like 2003, he spends weeks a time there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some seasons like 2003, he spends weeks a time there. he does indeed, but he played a much larger role in 08 I believe. I remember when they announced Nick Scotella writing the drill, the announcement said he would be asssisted/guided/whatever by Tony Hall during the process. Tony Hall always often does changes, but I think in 08 he was a large part of the creation in the first place. I could be wrong, but this is what my perception was.

jjeffeory Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Well said! Intriguing because I think of Michael Gaines as such a juggernaut in the activity, it's boggling to think he did emerge from Brubaker. Did '95 designer Greg Poklacki come from the same roots? I'm not 100% positive on that one. so I shouldn't give an answer. I would guess, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwillis35 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 87 Cadets 90 Cadets 90-91 Star 91 Cavaliers 93 Cadets 95 Cavaliers 97 SCV 98 Cadets 99 SCV 99 Blue Devils 2000 Cadets 2000 Cavaliers 2001 Cavaliers 2002 Cavaliers 2003 Cavaliers 2003 Blue Devils 2004 Blue Devils 2004 SCV 2004 Cavaliers 2006 Cavaliers 2006 SCV 2007 SCV 2007 Cadets 2007 -2010 Blue Devils Like above, these are my picks for best drill over the years (1979 was when I started seeing shows live). 1979 27th Lancers 1980 27th Lancers & SCV (asymmetrical drill, 1st time with Vanguard) 1981 SCV 1982 Garfield/The Cadets 1983 Garfield/The Cadets 1984 Garfield/The Cadets 1985 Garfield/The Cadets 1986 Cavaliers & Garfield/The Cadets 1987 Garfield/The Cadets 1988 SCV 1989 Cavaliers 1990 Cadets of Bergen/The Cadets & Star of Indiana 1991 Star of Indiana 1992 Cadets of Bergen & Cavaliers 1993 Cadets of Bergen & Star of Indiana 1994 Blue Devils 1995 Cadets of Bergen/The Cadets & Cavaliers 1996 Phantom Regiment 1997 Blue Devils & Cadets of Bergen/The Cadets 1998 Cadets of Bergen/The Cadets 1999 SCV 2000 The Cadets & Cavaliers 2001 The Cadets & Cavaliers 2002 Cavaliers 2003 Cavaliers 2004 Cavaliers 2005 The Cadets 2006 Cavaliers 2007 SCV 2008 Cavaliers & SCV 2009 The Cadets & Crown 2010 Cavaliers Just my opinion, obviously, but I tried to be as objective as possible. I have The Cadets with 16 bests, Cavaliers with 12, and SCV with 6. Just for fun, but IMO those would certainly be the shows in contention during those years for best drill. To me it is clear that the Cadets and Cavaliers have dominated visually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytimp Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 SCV 1980 is not an asymmetrical drill. It has an asymmetrical concert set-up and concert set, and the first half of "Jupiter" is asymmetrical. That's it. It's a fantastic drill, and brilliantly marched(though not as well as Phantom, wow), but it is not really all that asymmetrical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rd Glasgow BB Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 older.. lots of choice but I'd go for Garfield 87. Said it before on DCP but how that contra player makes his spot for the final company front is amazing. Even now when I watch it, I'm convinced he'll miss it. newer... has to be SCV 2010. The most inovative drill I've watched in a long time... very entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralTsoChicken Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Just two quick questions: 1. What am I missing in 93 Cadets, what is it that makes people love this visual program so much? 2. How can 96 PR be included over 93,94,89,76? Those corps were lightyears ahead of the 96 corps visually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can 96 PR be included over 93,94,89,76? Those corps were lightyears ahead of the 96 corps visually. Digging up an old thread.. Because I'm board. So I'll go over this question that was left by my friend. 1. 93 Cadets, I'm fairly sure I listed it. Sheer velocity and the chaos to clarity of Sully's line manipulation... run and gun drum corps at it's finest. To me, it's classic Cadets. Personally, I really loved the stagging of the drumline. Very aggressive and ballsy. Everyones cup of tea? Nope. This style of drill is not as "guard centric" as is todays drill but I don't find the "East Coast" style to be as guard centric as it is. The drill is about the motion. 2. Agree 100%!! And I can't believe I left 93 out of my list. Edited November 9, 2011 by CloudHype Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Rott Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 1979 27th Lancers 1980 27th Lancers & SCV (asymmetrical drill, 1st time with Vanguard) Thank you...although I think I prefer 27 from 1981 best. I believe that was Ralph Pace work...wasn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
