ajlemm Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 My first experience with drum corps was 1987 or so, and because I was 14, it is all a bit fuzzy. What I really remember was 1988 and the Madison Scouts show at finals (which I saw on PBS). It blew me away and hooked me for life. So I have a very full library of music from then on. What I do not have is music prior to that. I am specifically looking for APDs from the 1980s (before 1988). If there is something you know of before the 80s that I just have to listen to, let me know! What are your top 10 shows of the 1980s, music-wise? I want to build my library up some more!

ApathyJones Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Man, so much good stuff from that period. Here are IMHO some must haves... 80, 83, 86 Spirit of Atlanta 83 Cadets 83, 84, 86 Blue Devils 85, 86 Suncoast Sound 87 Santa Clara Vanguard SOOOOO much more than that though in the 80's but these are some of my favorites :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersop Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Honestly ... from 82 on up .. it's most of what's available. They're all top 10. The list above is pretty great but it has some gaping holes. If I'm really being honest .. there are some paperweights in 82 - 84 ... but from there on up .... GET THEM ALL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rd Glasgow BB Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Top 6 from every year is pretty good + a few cherry picked bottom 6. Some of my highlights would be... Garfeld - 83, 85 & 87 Devils - 82, 84 & 86 I also liked Devils in 87 but I find it's better to watch them that year than just listen. PR - 83, 84 & 87 SCV - 84 & 87 Suncoast - 83, 84 & 85 VK - 87 Skyriders - 87 SoA - 84 Edited September 13, 2012 by 3rd Glasgow BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumcorpsfever Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Don't forget about the 70's. Back when shows didn't have titles and themes. From the DCI Fan Network SCV 1974 Anaheim Kingsman 1974 Madison 1975 Blue Devils 1976 There's a host of other shows from the 70's. Check 'em out on the fan network.

BbTrpt1 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Start with the entire Top 12 from 1984 - maybe the best 1-12 top to bottom ever! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishbonecav Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Troopers '84 is a must have, if you can find it. Agreed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
