luv4corps Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Great thread. As a fan since 2010, I can only contribute to the latest decade but love hearing about the old favorites. I've seen vids of some of them but just don't feel informed enough to choose favorites. I know OP said only one but it's a tie I can't break: 2016 Bluecoats - the primer on modern drum corps and the direction it could go 2017 Blue Devils - special, moving, brimming with content, SO well performed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillis35 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 1972 - 1979 : Blue Devils 1979 1980 - 1989 : Garfield Cadets 1987 1990 - 1999 : Star of Indiana 1991 2000 - 2009 : The Cadets 2000 2010 - 2017 : Carolina Crown 2013 Not always what I think was the best show from each period, but mostly the shows I liked the best -- at least from the championship corps.

ThePlanets Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) Keeping in min that if I marched my age out year would have been 2007 and other than ESPN my first live show was 2005... -79 1975 Madison Scouts. Judging by film 1975 was just a great year for drum corps...but MacArthur Park is just wow. 80-89 1988 Madison Scouts. I have a soft spot in my heart for Malaguena and nobody does it like the Madison Scouts. I have it listed as my all time favorite. I wish I could have seen it live. 90-99 1996 phantom regiment a Defiant heart. My husband is a huge PR fan and after looking for film on this for years I finally found it. It does not disappoint. So dark, rich, and melodic. This is what drum corps should sound like. Yes star of Indiana shows were ground breaking...and 99 SCV is great too but 1996 phantom is definitely my answer. 00-09 Easy to answer. 2008 phantom regiment Spartacus. The Cavaliers were great but all visual. The Cadets were extraordinarily clean but I didn't find their shows engaging. Bluecoats and Crown had some great moments but they were just getting started. 2010-present. Very difficult to answer as I have 7 shows from 5 different corps in mind...and these shows placed anywhere from 2-8. Let me think about it and get back to you.

ibexpercussion Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 1972-1979 - Madison 1975 - "Dueling Banjos" enough said 1980-1989 - Blue Devils 1986 - Just WOW!!! 1990-1999 - Crossmen 1992 - The show that made me realize that I wanted to be part of a drum corps, and specifically Crossmen, one day. 2000-2009 - Bluecoats 2007 - "...you have the right to remain silent (guard feature)..." 2010-present - Crown 2011 - "Rach Star" what a fun show and concept, adn the "...FREEBIRD..." near the end!

drangin Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I'm in it for the entertainment, not for judging the cosmic significance of any shows or what trends they set for the future (which is currently bleak due to overuse of amplification, IMHO). 70s - Phantom Regiment 1978 (they was robbed) 80s - Bridgemen 1980 90s - Madison Scouts 1995 00s - Phantom 2008 10s - Bluecoats 2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
