t-mac Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 OK, so I was just watching the Finis show and LOVE all the drill references they throw in in the last minute of the show. What all was referenced? Here's what I saw, did I miss some? Cadets z-pull Phantom's crab-step wedge Cadets disappearing company front Cavalier's four corners rotating boxes Cavalier's four lines to a box to four lines Was there something else? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohwiseone Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) Sunburst I think, and the cross to cross (but it was crown to crown). Edited June 25, 2011 by ohwiseone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were actually multiple z-pulls happening And I'd include the scatter/reappear, but some might call that the crown-to-crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncoTrooper Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Yeah, there's definitely a Sunburst in there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loopin' froot loops Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Here's another little known fact about the show. Not only was the entire opener's drill changed the week before the first show, but originally at the end of Candide (before the "impact") was a horns down and a faux marching off the field; bass drum tap-off, 4 count turn, the whole works. 16 counts into the "march-off", they picked up their horns and started playing the Sweeny Todd intro that led into the "impact" (if you listen to the pre-season CD, it's on there). Not really something that was in the last minute of the show, but it was another "ending" (finis, get it ) that they tried, but realised that it shouldn't see the light of day.

t-mac Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 Yeah, there's definitely a Sunburst in there as well. I'm still missing the sunburst. Is it before or after the step over of the color guard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopin' froot loops Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I'm still missing the sunburst. Is it before or after the step over of the color guard? The contras do it when low brass melody comes in during 1812. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phirebird Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Not a drill move, but if you listen real closely you'll hear the pit quote "Rock Me Amadeus" by Falco. It's a real test of listening skill cause it's crazy buried. Maybe an inside joke with the staff or pit or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
