Relics Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 2015 Crown. The release at the end of the ballad when the red scrim is removed and the horns are lowered. That gave me chills and had me choked up at finals. Was my favorite moment of 2015 until the first time I saw the gold banner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyWonder1911 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Cadets 1998 - the colorguard at the end of the slow movement Cadets 2000 - the drum break, the playing-of-each-others'-trumpets, and the entire last minute of the show Vanguard's Y pull in both parts of the 1999 show Cavs 2002 - the "fight club" scene Crown winning their first title and watching the tears running down those kids' faces. I forgot to add the "raindrop" set from the Cadets 2005. Not just the visual set, but the music at that part, too. Brilliant. And brilliant how they morph into the umbrella. I don't hear much talk about Cadets 2005, but IMO there hasn't been a better show written or performed since.

Funny you mention this because I just found some youtube videos last week of their rehearsals from that year. Needless to say, I loved every moment of it. The raindrop set is by far my favorite primarily because of that chord. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillis35 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 FROM 2015 ONLY: Cadets Brass Line - WOW, especially the 2nd part of the show (after the intro) Bluecoats electronics, especially in opener Bluecoats ballad Blue Devils incredible use of staging continues to grab me Carolina Crown's POWER in the opener Cadets using 10 French Horns in the waltz Santa Clara's opening drill Spirit of Atlanta using Kanstul Brass = yes Colts music arrangements - which I thought were stellar, great show too Madison Scouts closer with full company front Carolina Crown adding the chorus audio in the closer of Beethoven Nine, with new gold silks Academy's opener of Marry Poppins - my favorite show of theirs yet Blue Devils ballad, which just felt like one of their classic 70s/80s ballad closers, and especially the delay before the last chord with casual change of form. So perfect! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futurecrusader Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Cadets 2005-"drum break" Cavaliers 2010- this is my rifle Cavaliers 2011- upside down tenors/drum major and the front ensemble break Phantom Regiment 2011- Elsa's Procession Bluecoats 2011- creep Blue Devils 2012- Snare solos Bluecoats 2014- ending jump and electronics Blue Devils 2014- trumpet feature in opener Carolina Crown 2015- in the opener when two guard members hold another guard member above their heads and a guy tosses over the girl, does a front walk over then catches it. Actually... The crown guard in general was just amazing this past year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
