Cadevilina Crown Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 Before I begin, I have a couple of things to say about PC: (1) I wish I had seen more of their shows from the past; (2) They are a corps in high need of a breakout show so that we can start really talking about them. That being said... Favorite: 2012, Spectrum. Easily some of their best musical moments ever came from this show. Least favorite: 2015, The Catalyst. I liked the ballad, but the ending was an enormous downer. Also, why did the design team think a show about a box was a good idea? 1 Quote
84BDsop Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 2002 is an all time fave for the music. They never left California, which is a shame....the rest of you missed out. Quote
ouooga Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 2008 is definitely my favorite. 2004 is second, but I'm biased. 1 Quote
CrownBariDad Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 I liked the concept of 2014 -- "No Strings Attached." Favorite -- 2016 "The Union" (yes -- biased, too) Next -- 2017 "Golden State of Mind" Quote
ThePlanets Posted February 24, 2018 Author Posted February 24, 2018 I agree with @Cadevilina Crown. I am hoping for an exciting breakout season from Pacific Crest soon. They have great artwork and t-shirts available for their shows. 2017 was well executed but left me wanting more. This was the only time I have seen Pacific Crest live. I did enjoy 2016 the union. All the train stuff was really cool but not over the top. My vote goes to 2016 the Union. 2010 the maze gets an HM. 1 Quote
ThePlanets Posted February 28, 2018 Author Posted February 28, 2018 2012 Spectrum gets the nod as I will not count my vote for 2016 as double on the tie breaker. I will be back momentarily with my week 22 thread which I am super excited about. Quote
