jackroberts Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 The Crown kid with the leg a couple years ago.... I get queasy just thinking about that. I've never been able to find an actual video of the accident, though I guess that's for the best. The kid in me wants to see it, still, though. I'm glad he got to age out in 2012 as a backfield conductor, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid in me wants to see it, still, though. I'm glad he got to age out in 2012 as a backfield conductor, though! I saw it, trust me. You don't. That was absolutely painful and heartbreaking to watch. I only watched it once almost 4 years ago and I still remember every detail. You could tell in the crowd reaction for the Bluecoats that people were still shocked. Like you said, it all ended well in 2012 with him getting to age out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superOOk Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 So many. '91 Phantom's hornline ending to opener. '88 Scouts ending. '92 Cavaliers opener. Creep. When a man loves a woman. This amazing piece, which I'm about to see in Massillon. I'm sure I'm leaving out like 10 or so more... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) 2014 Blue Knights, the whole show. Talking with my mom and dad afterwards, both of which have never really been too involved with what I have done and don't have any connection to drum corps at all who had both lost their fathers within recent years about the impact that show had on them both had them and my selves thinking about how short life is, all the cliche's about enjoying it, ect. It was a pretty surreal experience. When a show hits home........it's something else entirely. Edited July 31, 2014 by DrumManTx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan9 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 #4) Closer for Madison Scouts 2013..."Never Walk Alone".....yikes! Major tearjerker! #3) "Laura" hit in BD 2010, amazing moment......also the reprise of "Laura" during closer and whole closing drill....breathtaking. #2) Company front and "Simple Gifts" during SCV 2009......are you kidding me?? You can't be interested in drum corps and not be moved by that! Period! #1) Personally, the entire Star of Indiana re-union production during Semi's 2010...but particularly serenading the age outs of 2010 with "When you Wish upon a Star"....holy ####! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
