FanLib Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Crown trumpet echo feature Flying Bluecoats member Crazy Boston guard (up close: freaky the first time I saw them!), plus what that show possibly meant Marimbas on the field And most of all, my first year as a DCI parent, all the emotions connected to that, and the incredibly awesome summer my child is still talking about Edited August 13, 2014 by FanLib 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumManTx Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Moments off the top of my head without thinking: Blue Devils "La Strada" ballad. Bluecoats ballad impact of "Hymn of Acxiom". Bluecoats pitch bend, of couse. Santa Clara Vanguard's pit accel. Carolina Crown's "Major Tom" section after the brass feature and drum feature before the ballad. Absolutely ballsack scorching. Carolina Crown's ballad. Cavaliers Marimba Feature, again, of course. Blue Knights ballad. Blue Knights narration leading into the closer. Blue Stars ballad. Blue Stars star set that comes outta nowhere in the closer. Boston Crusaders meshing triangles into an intense company front. Boston Crusaders flugel soloist. Boston Crusaders EVIL conquest. Madison Scouts ballsack scorching opening hit. Crossmens drum feature. Troopers "America the Beautiful". The Academy's "Hungarian Rhapsody #2", specifically the marimba feature. Vanguard Cadets awesome Kaval Sviri opening hit. Oregon Crusaders fantastic take of "Hymn of Acxiom". Pacific Crest's Can Can in the closer. Cascades "Turn Turn Turn" ballad.

YouHadMeAtMello Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Bluecoats closer and Cavies marimbas. Along with that, the top 3 announcements during the retreat was quite memorable..party because it was my first time seeing finals live...but the way the crowd rallied for bloo and the reaction for them getting second, and then the ovation after 99.65, unforgettable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCfan76 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 What will I remember 10 years from now? Academy - The big British flag hit at the end. Very cool. Colts - The Scarecrow skipping away into the sunset at the end. Cavaliers - The vampires setting up, then waking from their graves at the beginning. Crown - "Major Tom" - blastoff! Bluecoats - The tilt platforms and the member flying off at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Bluecoats = Orange is the new bloo. Pitch bend. Hymn. BD = La Strada and the broken clown being embraced. The score. SCV = That drumline. That trombone hit. Crown = The runaway snare caught by a judge on finals night. BAC = The message of the show. Those masks. The baby powder antics at semis and finals plus night flags. BK = The emotional impact of the show. The rest will probably fade over time. I'll might remember the Cadets use of a huge stage and writing most of the drill behind the front hash, but only as something I didn't really care for.

OrlandoContraAlum Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 SCV trombone skull splitting first hit. Bloo pitch bend. Cadets stage. Boston's G7 and baby powder at finals. Ill remember all of these moments. Wait, what? What did they do with baby powder at finals? (I missed this?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
