I have only included the years in which they made finals. Some great shows out there.

Love the Latin groove section in the 2005 show, and 1997 when they finally became a real "Big Boy" corps.

I voted for 1999, followed closely by 1998 and 2001. I also enjoyed parts of 2000 and 2002 a lot! I also want to mention 2011. They didn't make finals, but I loved the show design (brass, percussion,

wow...you need to check them out 97-02 are epic in Glassmen history. Awesome music, powerful hornlines, top tier drumlines and eye popping visual and drill!

'98 is catchy, but I really like giggling at the jazz segment in '02.

1997 was the first time Glassmen really caught my attention. Some great stuff on the field that year...Farandole was my favorite.

I did choose 1999 as my favorite Glassmen finals show. For some reason Glassmen and Kodaly just go together. I can't explain it really. The music, the percussion, the guard, the whole visual. Just amazing. What a great brass sound that year! I always thought that they should do another Kodaly show. That would surely bring the house down, IMO.

I liked 07 but man there were some incredible shows in that late 90's run!

the person has an opinion.

also, GOLD. everything GOLD. Midas touch.

I voted for 99 - the Kodaly show was stunningly good...just GREAT drum corps.

I also encourage folks to look at and listen to the Dan Acheson finalist years...you can hear the good teaching in the brass, though it's still obvious they had a lot of high school and young college players.

This. IMAGO is the reason I marched drum corps.

also, GOLD. everything GOLD. Midas touch.

I also want to mention 2011. They didn't make finals, but I loved the show design (brass, percussion, visual, guard, everything!) and the performers really sold it with a lot of emotion. I can't wait to see what the Gmen have in their future.
