Each year after the first few shows, once I've had a chance to see everybody, I "take inventory" so to speak and gauge how good a year it seems to be. I do a little comparison of each corps' current show to the previous year's show - better, worse, or about the same (hey, I'm an optometrist, so it's in my nature :27_sunglasses:). The quality and engagement level of show design of course fluctuates in this activity as in any creative endeavor. If most corps are better or at least as good as the prior year, it's a good year. I've often thought , particularly doing this comparison, "Wouldn't it be awesome if every corps knocked it out of the park with their show design and had their best show ever - all in the same year?" Of course, this would never happen and it would make the next year a pretty big letdown most likely. But it's fun to think about. Or, what if you could bring back any show from the past and see it live? What would your "Ultimate Finals" look like? There have been lots of discussion and polls over the years about the best or favorite shows, but I don't recall seeing one quite like this. Here are the criteria: pick twelve different corps (not different shows/years from the same corps) and the show from each that would be in your personal Ultimate Finals competition, as well as the performance order and venue. This doesn't necessarily have to be what you think are the "best" or highest scoring shows, but the ones that would make for the most enjoyable evening for you personally. And I'm not looking for scores or how you think the competition would shake out - just what would leave you the most entertained by the performances on their own merits. You can choose any Finalist show from any year in the DCI era.

Here's my Ultimate Finals:

Venue: Camp Randall Stadium - Madison, WI (packed to the gills)

Weather: Clear skies, 79 degrees, calm wind, 35% humidity

Before the Show - Future Corps outside the stadium

7:00pm   -   National Anthem - Al Chez

7:06pm   -   2000 U.S. Marine Drum & Bugle Corps (Exhibition)

7:30pm   -   1992 Crossmen

7:47pm   -   1980 Spirit of Atlanta

8:04pm   -   1980 Bridgemen

8:21pm   -   2004 Cavaliers

8:38pm   -   1993 Star of Indiana

8:55pm   -   1995 Madison Scouts

9:12pm   -   Intermission - DrumLine Battle: The Old Guard vs. Hellcats

9:35pm   -   2016 Bluecoats

9:52pm   -   1987 Garfield Cadets

10:09pm -   2013 Carolina Crown

10:26pm -   2017 Blue Devils

10:43pm -   2008 Phantom Regiment

11:00pm -   2018 Santa Clara Vanguard

11:25pm -   1994 27th Lancers Alumni Corps (Exhibition)

11:47pm -   Ambulance to nearest ER, possibly coroner

interesting thread and cool line up

2 quibbles - I'm not sure I'd enjoy 95 Madison after 1993 Star - so I'd probably put Madison on at 8:21

Also - Camp Randall wouldn't be my "idea" venue - it's a good one but quite old and cramped - so I'd probably head us to a more modern outdoor venue like Metlife Stadium in NJ, M&T Bank in Baltimore or even the MD Terps Stadium where we were in 2000

I'll have to think on picking my idea line up!

Jeff,

You have 3 Santa Claras listed. You can only pick one! I like the JD pick though.

Shawn

Let the baseball/lacrosse coach know you'll be missing practice today because of detention.

try and detain me, and i'll crank up the last two minutes of 16 Coats or 18 SCV and blast your ear drums into submission.

 

Like an indoor show i helped teach said 8 years ago "Rules Are Meant to Be Broken"
