HockeyDad Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Troopers 1979 prelims, Birmingham Alabama. The stuff legends are made of. Absolutely. Although in a previous bout of hallucination, I said that it was in Boulder. I was quickly corrected. Anyway, the crowd was the most electric I've ever experienced for a prelims. And I've seen plenty of them. If you were a Crossmen fan, though, your thoughts about this day were probably quite different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tez Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Most memorable for me: (I'll list the last 20 years) 2011 - Crown - one of the most entertaining show ever 2010 - Blue Devils - new level of artistry in the drum corps idiom 2009 - Crown - one of the cleanest brass lines I've ever heard.... Crown reaches the top most echelon 2008 - Phantom - duh! 2007 - Cadets - partially for the wrong reasons, but regardless, one of the best performing corps, performing one of the most difficult shows ever 2006 - Blue Devils 2005 - Phantom 2004 - Blue Devils - such a hip show 2003 - Phantom - extreme emotion 2002 - Cavaliers - near perfection 2001 - Cadets 2000 - Cadets 1999 - Blue Devils - fabulous design 1998 - Cadets - very straightforward, in-your-face drum corps 1997 - Blue Devils - this show made me fall in love with the Blue Devils 1996 - Scouts - massive energy, part dos 1995 - Scouts - massive energy 1994 - Cadets 1993 - Star - (see BD 2010) 1992 - Cadets - loved the Holsinger 1991 - Star - along with PR08, probably my favorite all time show 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84BDsop Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 1984-BD Over Garfield?? Not that I MIND....but really?? This is a show that's gotten no love whatsoever from the org...never a mention or even a picture of the show in the 50th anniversary retrospective. What made it stick out for you? Especially given the awesome shows that season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesBry Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 OK, relax the rules a bit. The point was to see what people remembered most. As it turns out, Greenblue's original hypothesis seems to be holding true. Often and throughout DCI history, the most memorable shows are often NOT the ones who win. Not always, but often. I suppose those of us (myself definitely included) who continue getting upset by the judges' scores would do well to keep this in mind.

The Other Mike Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 1961 ( or was it 1962 ? ) for $500, who's exit tune was "The Party's Over" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSU GRAD 82 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Cadets and Spirit 1980 What was the piece that the Cadets played in 80 that sounds similar to Malaguena? I think it was Fernando's Fantasy. Correct? 1980 was my favorite year. I play the 80 Finals DVD on a regular basis JUST FOR THE MUSIC. Don't even need to watch it. Spirit of Atlanta (Let it be Me ) Cavaliers (Sambandrea Swing ) Crossmen (Pictures of Spain ) Bridgemen (Big Noise from Winnetka ), Madison (Malaguena :worthy:) North Star (Tiger of San Pedro ) Also liked BD and SCV in 80.
