Crossmen 90, 97, 01

and I agree with everything else that has been posted.

My absolute favorite is between 03, and 06 phantom.

Sounds like there was some good stuff from the 80's... I've seen them all on FN, but that doesn't do anything justice.

Cadets 2000.

Scouts' Malagueña.

Many many more. Also one that prolly won't be mentioned, but for some reason pops into my mind as very entertaining was Academy 06. No not the level of those above, but still pretty darn cool.

For it's prescience and poignancy, I would have to go with the 1984 27th Lancers. Their closer of Michel LeGrand's "No Matter What Happens" is tops in my book.

Some Old School:

74 Anahiem Kingsmen: So Very Hard to Go/Firebird Suite, Rifle Line Curtsy was so classy! :worthy::worthy:

74 Muchachos: It Was a Very Good Year/Las Picturas de Espana, Crowd was out of its mind at that point. :w00t:

75 Madison Scouts: The Way We Were/Ballet in Brass, Nuff said! :thumbup:

75 27th Lancers: Danny Boy, any year 27 did it was always good but that year with the leap back into the top 4 plus the Company Front Pinwheel and that Rifle Line....WOW! :w00t::worthy::worthy:

76 Blue Devils: Chase the Clouds Away, just a great show and Champion. :worthy::worthy:

76 Phantom Regiment: Pilgrims March from Tannhauser, a sign of things to come from PR plus a great Color Pre to finish the show. :worthy:

I like great endings (tags) past endings- play one off the field.

Bluecoats 93- Tag to Night in Tunisia

SCV 00- Tag to Stained Glass

Cadets 87- Tag to Appalachain Spring.... drill just kept going

Phantom 10- Soloist playing the corps off the field

The mother of all tag endings: BD 88....left them clapping to the soprano soloists and wanting more.

Great Closers:

Star 90-93

BD 88- Since I Fell for You

Madison 98- Rememberance

91 Crossmen-Third Wind

92 Cadets- To tame the Perilous Skies......Mellophones. wow.

Underrated:

Phantom 91- Bacchanal- The total closer.

Cadets 01- Farandole- A closer to one of the toughest brassl books ever in a show. IMO.

Madison 90, 91, 99- You can Cook, City of Angels, JS Superstar- Always Crowd pleasing stuff that I think is overshadowed by the 94-97 years.

Cavaliers 91- Mentioned already. But I love how the crowd goes from forte to fffffff after the flag toss and the push to the sideline.

Cavaliers 92- One of my favorites ever. Flags and snare ending...awesome.

SCV 97- Slow moving piece but just a great push to the end.

BD 11- House is not a Home reprise ...felt 88 to me, And I loved it.
