DWEST Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Best Impact (visual and musical) Santa Clara 1987 off the line. Yes it was apples and oranges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Doherty Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 D, I don't disagree, and this would be in my top picks of all-time openers, so would Festival. However the terms are still not defined. What does impact mean? Only the author can tell us what they were getting at, and that has failed to happen. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Cavalier TDY Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) The opening segment of Cavies 76 Russian Sailors Dance has always been a favorite of mine. Edited April 15, 2012 by A Cavalier TDY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Doherty Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Don't disagree. Always liked that show.Compare Cavie's RSD with 80 Reading Buccaneers. Fely Intelesting.Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumno5 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 [re:SCV "Bottle Dance" tag at '82 finals] You can barely hear the horns on the recording over everyone screaming Apparently neither could the drum line on the field, hahahaha! Timing was little rough, to say the least. A couple of my favorites form back in the day: Phantom opening hit 1983; Garfield Cadets three note impact at end of WSS "Rumble" 1984. Peace, Fred O.

Kevin Doherty Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Fred. I am going to listen to PR 83 right now. I always enjoy being reminded about great moments. Thanks, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple Forte Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) Filling in some more that haven't been mentioned: 2001 Glassmen: like it or not, IMAGO had some huge impacts Good ears my friend. (didn't think someone would think of this one..) I remember them real well...I would say that Glassmen's 2001 hornline put out the most volume out of the top five corps. So many impacts that I can talk about but....to many..to little time. Tried to think of a unique one folks didnt remember....here is another strange one (not sure if it was mentioned yet. 1998 Magic of Orlando (13th place) A hornline that surprised a lot of folks with their opening statement and volume was Magic 1998 Main impact at 1:28 then again at 1:47 and I think just about everyone's sentiment at 1:55 (listen to the guy yell) video link Edited April 15, 2012 by Triple Forte 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armyscout Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 best impacts of my generation of relevance is probably 1999, Blue Devils, SCV, Madison, Boston, even Glassmen were all amazing stuff. 03, 07, 08, 10 Phantom in addition to 95, 96, 97, 98, 03, 05, 08, 10, 11 Madison and Carolina with 05, 07, 08, 09. BD 03 and 07 were legit as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Doherty Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 As promised, i did listen to 83 Phantom opening statement. Very impressive. But it brings me back to an earlier point I made. Are we talking about hits or longer passages? The author used both terms. I am a patient person, but I do get annoyed when a question is asked and the OP disappears. In the thread there were mentions of 88 Scouts. Magnificent performance, but not a single hit. I'm not trying to say that I know more than anyone else. I'm just unsure what we're really talking about. I attempted to define terms in the absence of anyone else doing it - just for discussion purposes. Not sure where this is going. No offense intended to anyone. Kevin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
