MelloMatt Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Many of my favorite memories are already listed, but I will have to admit Madison's 2013 show caught me off guard. I had heard the MP3 version prior to seeing the show live in Lawrence, MA. I would imagine I also saw it via Fan Network, but for some reason when I saw it live the first time, it moved me almost to the point of tears. A few days later in Allentown I was sitting near a man wearing a POW MIA t-shirt and he did start balling. Then at prelims, I was near the Madison block and seeing the alums stand and sing along again moved me. Troopers sunburst lasts season did it for me too. I know I saw the sunburst live back in the day but seeing it again by a new generation and having a crowd get so excited was something. By "Danny Boy" in 27th's "Once More in 94," I'm sure I was a basket case. Finally, I know I must have loved BAC's 2002 "You Are My Star" when I saw it live because it's on my list of favorites and has been since 2002, but I recall seeing it not too long after the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013. Perhaps being from the Boston area, and knowing the show as a 9-11 memorial, it had significance for me and I recall being moved by it in a new way. Oh god, I had forgotten You Are My Star. That one got me too, as well as the Sunburst. Also "I WILL RISE" from '13 Boston, and Blue Stars this year (Home has a really close meaning for me, and that just made the tears flow). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideways Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Oh so many... I always have fun with a question like this as it allows me to remember so many incredible moments. In chronological order: 1989 SCV closer and the Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again ballad 1991 Cadets Baseball Letters from Home section 1992 VK - Close of the show with the Fat Lady singing only to be eaten by the shark 1993 Phantom Regiment Fire of Eternal Glory, and the crab-walking wedge hit 1994 Phantom Regiment Claire De Lune (oh so subtle & beautiful) 1995 Madison Scouts - especially the closing moments 1995 Cadets closing moments 1995 Phantom Regiment ballad with the frames 1996 Phantom Regiment arc to finish - exhilirating brass power from 10 rows up on the 45 yard line 1997 Cadets ballad in their Celebration show 2000 SCV Canyon opener 2003 Phantom Regiment opening & closing pieces with Cannon 2006 Phantom Regiment Ave Maria 2007 Carolina Crown Horse Race 2008 Phantom Regiment "I am Spartacus" with 20,000 participants and closing moments 2010 Phantom Regiment - so many different moments in that show, but especially the hit when they get to the Chevron 2011 Phantom Regiment Juliet/Elsa's Closer - Low Brass power heaven 2013 SCV - so many moments, but especially the bring him home beautiful ballad with the entire corps backfield 2014 Blue Knights - most of the show, but especially the closer I'm sure I'll think of more. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane! Harvey Fat Lady being eaten by the shark was such a tragic loss... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fsubone Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Bluecoats 1995- the Flag presentation. Dead silence in the stadium, all you hear is the guard member crying. Talk about heart-breaking. Also Colts 2001- Non Nobis Domine. The camera hangs on a guard member pretty much breaking down during the closer. It's pure displays of emotion like that during shows that make drum corps something special. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c.l. Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Bluecoats 1995- the Flag presentation. Dead silence in the stadium, all you hear is the guard member crying. Talk about heart-breaking.

It's pure displays of emotion like that during shows that make drum corps something special. I've always wondered if that member hates seeing the recording for that show. I know I would if they chose to focus on my ugly cry face the whole ballad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
