Cadets show becomes dark when a guard member kills the narrator with a civil war style musket?

I was there in the huge Montreal crowd when SCV launched into Bottle Dance at finals. The crowd erupted so loudly that the music fell apart by the end of it. Whatever was gained in GE was probably lost in execution. A great moment in drum corps lore though!

While the snares simulate gunfire from the "grassy knoll" of the backfield?

OK, maybe not.

I think you need to have all the pieces locked in by now. Two examples come to mind - Vanguard '82, when they added "Bottle Dance" and it didn't work out so well, and '85 Garfield when they changed the way the DM conducted the intro to "Candide" and the corps almost fell apart.

These cams to mind for me as well. The other one though is Phantom killing the DM in 2008. I didn't see it until prelims. Very effective and I believe the final "hype" they needed to push them over.

The timing judge had already fired twice to stop the judged portion of the show, unless the judges up top were still working.

I'm still thinking the Cadets will do more with that dam ramp.
