Crown 2000 - Diego's Goodbye

Colts 2012 - ALL BY MYSELF c'mon best part of that show

It was mentioned earlier, but from this year's crop of shows I am totally in love with Bluecoats' arrangement of "Love Dance," and SCV doing "Hymn to a Blue Hour." John Mackey is one of my favorite contemporary composers and Hymn to a Blue Hour one of my favorite ballads for wind band, period. I've teared up every time I've heard it this season.

As someone who is less familiar with the historical "great shows" of DCI history, this thread is a wonderful resource. I've already had a number of goosebump/chill moments from looking back at some of these shows. Keep the suggestions coming!

Best closers that come to mind:

Madison Scouts 1988, 1995

Santa Clara Vanguard 1987, 1988, 1989

Garfield Cadets 1984, 1987

Star of Indiana 1990, 1993

Cavaliers 1991, 1992, 2002

Phantom Regiment 1989, 2008

Blue Devils 1984, 1988

Going to stop there lol. I have many more but that will do..............

Other than Cavies 92, I agree with all of those. Good choices! :thumbup:

Ballad? We don't need no stinking ballad...but, if I HAD to pick one? 93' Phantom Regiment "Fire of Eternal Glory".
