corpsband Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I haven't listened to the podcast yet. Did I actually say, "Well, icon works for me"? If so...YIKES...and I'm sorry, even as a joke. lol -- yes you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamarag Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 1989 Regiment...I always wondered if the "Neil Hefti" drum part in the Largo cost them the few tenths that put them below SCV. That, coupled with the incredibly dirty percussion feature later on doomed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouooga Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) This ignores a lot of shows, mostly a lot of second places, but here's my list. It's basically those shows that had the design, had the talent, and had the magic, but were just up against some really tough competition that year. 88 Santa Clara Vanguard 89 Phantom Regiment 95 Blue Devils 97 Madison Scouts 03 Cavaliers 03 Phantom Regiment 04 SCV 05 Bluecoats 05 Phantom Regiment 06 Bluecoats 08 Cavaliers Edited July 7, 2016 by ouooga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Boo Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Has everyone forgotten about Star 93??? We didn't on the podcast. I don't know if it's in part one or part two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I hear that a lot, but in fact Cadets 2007 tied for 1st in GE, were 3rd in visual and 4th in music. An editor's pen might have made the show more popular with fans but that's not where it needed help with the judges. Which only points out how subjective scoring can be, that corps marched and played fantastically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hrothgar15 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Solid choice with Santa Clara 1987, especially pointing out the Cossack hats. Uniforms fitting the theme of the show has been happening for longer than we think! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I don't think it hurt. I talked with Marty Hurley about that during the season, and he said that the judges, though questioning of it earlier, had admitted to getting into it as the season progresses. Oh, that's good for them. Personally, to me it was painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa, but that is just me. I judged a lot in CT back then, and one of the band directors (also a percussionist) asked me to make comments on the drum part in his band's ballad. It was something similar to the Largo, with the same kind of drum part as PR, and the director HATED it. He didn't write the percussion score; his drum guys did, but he wanted a second set of "eyes" on evaluating that part, and he knew I was a percussionist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) This ignores a lot of shows, mostly a lot of second places, but here's my list. It's basically those shows that had the design, had the talent, and had the magic, but were just up against some really tough competition that year. 97 Madison Scouts Don't get me wrong, as I loved Madison 97, but 9th in percussion, and 5th overall that year, doesn't really qualify as " could have won ", imo. I can think of lots of 4th and 5th place Finals Corps that had awsome entertaining shows ( Boston, 2000 comes to mind), but I would not say that Boston " could have won " in 2000... not when there were 4 Corps in front of them that season, as there was with Madison 97.
