Any opener....umm, I mean Off the line that the Blue Devils did is awesome: My all time number one favorite is "commencement" from the 91 BD show. So powerful and intense......

81 Lancers - Crown Imperial....Flags w/double silks Yummmmm

80 Lancers - Folk Song Suite - Watch Nancy tear it up !!

82 Lancers - Seahawk - again, an intense piece, accented by great guard work.

87 SCV - Russin X-mas music - emotional and full of drama

91 SCV - Overture - the helcopter effect.......

99 SCV - the Canyon..emotional and full of drama, two SCV trademarks, returning

There are so many -

Thanks ~G~ , also tore it up in 1979 with the same song in the same position, #2 side closest to the 50! :P although they switched from short to tall to tall to short in 80....I kept my spot... :P

79 me and Carol A (from the Evil ones staff) used to dress center and wish we could faint instead of do the show, that's how nervous we used to be....until the corps began counting off of course... b**bs

I used to pretend it was Crown Imperial....kind of.... :sshh:

Bridgemen-73 William Tell Overture, the triple tongue part was amazing for a guard person!

Spirit 80

To many to vote as the best. For c. 1970-1982, my choices are:

"Globe Play House," Santa Clara Vanguard (1971)

"Fanfare and Allegro," Santa Clara Vanguard (1972-1973)

"Ballet in Brass," Madison Scouts (1973-1974)

"Mambo," Anaheim Kingsmen (1974)

"Slaughter on 10th Avenue," Madison Scouts (1975)

"Crown Imperial March," 27th Lancers (1975-1976)

"Channel One Suite," Blue Devils (1976-1977)

"Overture to a New Era," Santa Clara Vanguard (1977-1978)

"Numero Uno," Madison Scouts (1981): my favorite, especially the opening statement----one of the best things the Scouts have ever done, IMHO
