oldcadetsop Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 For the past 30 years, every Labor Day weekend, I host a large BBQ, with long time friends in the drum corps world. Today was fun. We talk etc. But a topic came up today and thought it was fun. Name 1 and I mean 1 show, from each decade, so be it your favorite, transitional, best, activity impact, or just all out great etc. here are the parameters: 1972-1979 1980-1989 1990-1999 2000-2009 2010-present Just name 1 from each. It is tuff, we laughed a lot but it was fun, ranged from champions to 20th place corps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slingerland Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) 1972-1979 - '76 Blue Devils, birth of a dynasty 1980-1989 - 83 Garfield, new direction in programming and visual 1990-1999 - '93 Star, because it was the most consequential show in that decade 2000-2009 - 2003 Cavaliers, as the most demanding, intricate show of the era 2010-present - 2014 Bluecoats - the first corps to really get how electronics and staging will define the decade.
