PunkRawkBandGeek Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) New twist: Cannot have the same corps twice in the set. Go. Most of my favorite shows have never won, so this is fun.

bluecoats88 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Okay my take - Off the top of my head I would go with these 1980 - Spirit of Atlanta (Jim Ott's Final Arrangements) 1980 - Bridgemen (The Banana's highest placement) 1986 - Dutch Boy (The Jetsons, Pink Pnther, & Magilla Gorilla - What's not to Love) 1987 - Bluecoats (Their first year in Finals & Autumn Leaves, Plus there's a really great 4th bass player in this group) 1987 - Sky Ryders (West Side Story like no other) 1988 - Suncoast Sound (Whack-Whack-Whack) 1988 - Velvet Knights (The Bull) 1988 - Santa Clara Vanguard (when you make the whole corps disappear you deserve to be recognized) 1988 - Blue Devils (Best hornline ever) 1990 - Cavaliers (Guard was amazingly clean) 1994 - Magic of Orlando (such a cool and unusual show) 2005 - Southwind (Pure Imagination) 2007 - Phantom Regiment (So much running and that hornline was strong) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Choosing some of my favorites based on memories and when available, Legacy DVD's..... 1. 1980 27th Lancers--the most famous 2nd place finish of all time 2. 1979 Spirit of Atlanta--in my humble opinion their best show. 3. 1977 Bridgemen or 1975 Muchachos--DCI's two most controversial shows. 4. 1974 Anaheim Kingsmen--the only complete show I believe that is available 5. Kilts 1975--they were once so much a part of DCI 6. North Star 1979--a fan favorite that never gets old 7. Troopers 1986--one of their best shows in the DCI era 8. Suncoast Sound 1985 9. Sky Riders 1988--you can't help but love this show. 10. 2011 Carolina Crown--Rach Star will probably become one of drum corps beloved shows. 11. 1999 Madison Scouts--one of their most popular shows and in my opinion, their most underrated show 12. 1999 BAC--finally they made the finals though 2000 may be their best DCI show, with 2011 close behind. 13. 1987 Velvet Knights We need at another volume, possibly by decade--I haven't included Argonne Rebels (never saw them live, only small portions of their show on Youtube), Blue Coats, SCV, Blue Knights, early Blue Devils, early Phantom, Dutch Boy, Crossmen or Star of Indiana. Let's face it, old school or contemporary, it's been a great 40 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyDad Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) New twist: Cannot have the same corps twice in the set. Go. Troopers 1974 Muchachos 1975 (it exists only in my imagination...and some poor quality YouTube vids) 27th Lancers 1979 Madison 1981 SCV 1986 BD 1988 Phantom 1989 Star 1990 Cavies 1991 Colts 1993 (put on Summertime and crank it) Blue Knights 1999 Glassmen 1999 Boston Crusaders 2000 This list is evil! Stopping at 13 and I didn't get to list Spirit or Bluecoats or Crown or Xmen or Blue Stars ! Or Anaheim or Freelancers or North Star or the 1975 Kilties !
