Though 1996 did have the best percussion intro of any of their shows, and 1998 the best in your face intro, IMHO.

Now or Never from 1990 is probably one of my favorite DCI moments... yes... it is one big moment. Awesomeness.

This was an easy choice for me.....Crossmen 1990. That truly put Crossmen back on the map in a 'big' way. All you 1992 fans...queue up 1990 and give it try..... This longtime Crossmen fan is really

I voted for '97 because it's the show that led to my meeting my wife (we met on a plane the day after she marched Finals with the '97 Crossmen)

My favorite show that didn't include my wife was '92, with '91 a close second, and '98 third

I'll rank my top 5.

1. 1992 - Because it is the proverbial poo

2. 1991- Metheny

3. 1990 - Baroque Samba and Now or Never

4. 2002 - Heat of the Day is just one smoking opener.

5. 1997 - I actually loathe Birdland and to be honest, I don't care for the middle tune. Niner-Two smoked and if you where in the Citrus Bowl like I was at Finals, that corps lit it up. More about the performance then the show.

HM 98 (good drumline), 93 (gets no love but I dig the Freda section)

I think a common thread among the posts about the Crossmen percussion BITD is Mark Thurston's writing. He wrote some great stuff, and found a way to incorporate some amazing grooves, without making it obvious, or seem cadence-like.

Mark Thurston + Crossmen = sweet beats and awesome drumlines!

AGREED!!! The 1992 show, and the percussion that were part of the book, is why I fell in love with the drum corps activity. Mark Thruston's writing is what drove me to want to be part of the Crossmen, but when I finally got the chance to audition (and made it), he was with Spirit. No complaints, I loved my time with Bones, but indirectly Thurston had a major impact on my music career (marching and now teaching).
