skywhopper Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Sort of like just deciding to call a microwave oven "a grill", because they both involve heat and food. I wouldn't be the first to start it, but if 90% of the people I talked about microwaves to called them "grills" I guess I'd get over it. Just like calling a vacuum cleaner a "sweeper", or a soda "pop". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jplattSCV Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 best ballad ever? BD 1989 (every night except finals night, that is) worst ballad ever? BD 1989 (no night except finals night) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickhaltsforlife Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I have to say Phantom 06. One of the most musical, moving things I've ever heard and seen on the field. The whole thing was designed perfectly and performed so well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musclebud Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) "Softly as I Leave You" Cavaliers. 1980, 81, or 82. Makes no difference. Edited July 26, 2012 by musclebud 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwillis35 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) BALLADS Garfield Cadets 1984 - ballad from West Side Story and that gorgeous mellophone solo. Perhaps the BEST EVER! Garfield Cadets 1985 - Make Our Garden Grow, incredible and stunning musical build. SCV 1984 & 85 - Gover's Corners, simply gorgeous! The Cadets (Garfield) 1993 - the ballad from "In The Spring: At The Time When Kings Go Off To War" Long title, super show! Phantom Regiment 2006 - "Ave Maria" by Franz Biebl. This might be the Winner of Winners! If you were not moved by this one, you simply do not have a heart beat. The Cadets 1998 - Cantaberry Chorale...Awesome! SCV 2003 - Adagio for Strings (? do I have the correct year for this one). Loved it! Star of Indiana 1992 - Middle section of their show (forget the name of the song) when they open those cool murals. Excellent build and very majestic hit! While other corps have all played some great ballads, there are just too many to really judge. And honestly, and this is just me, I just never cared for how Madison, Cavaliers, Blue Devils, and others have played ballad-like sections of their shows. I could go on and on with corps like SCV, Phantom, and Cadets when it comes to BALLADS. Crown occasionally hits the spot, but as of late they have not. I will say this: The Bluecoats are really hitting the spot this year with their ballad. Edited July 26, 2012 by jwillis35 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsubone Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 The Cadets 1998 - Cantaberry Chorale...Awesome! SCV 2003 - Adagio for Strings (? do I have the correct year for this one). Loved it! Canterbury Chorale was an amazing tune, and such a great show. Some of the best marching I've ever seen on a field. SCV did Adagio in 2000, as part of their Age of Reverence show. my favorite show of all time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyDad Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 There was this one show where it ended with some Roman guy getting run through with a spear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
