7 days until the tour premier what is your favorite 7th place show?


Recommended Posts

The countdown continues. What are some of your favorite 7th place shows?

Bluecoats and Santa Clara Vanguard lead the pack with six 7th place finishes each.

This is an interesting slot because a 7th place show is a great year for some corps, an average year for others, and a terrible year for the top groups. It's also the last show not in the top 6.

There have been a lot of good, enjoyable 7th place shows over the years but the one that stands out to me the most is

Carolina Crown-2005-Angelus

Bluecoats have a lot of nice 7th place finishes as well with the best being Homefront 1945. I wanna give a shout-out to the amazing arrangement of Creep in 2011 as well. Not one of my personal favorites but 2007 Criminal shouldn't be overlooked either as it scored so high and at some points of the season they were so close to getting their first medal.

VK 1987 is another great one.

Ah, been waiting for this one. Lots of great #7 shows from the oldies.

1972 - Des Plaines Vanguard - They just looked mean as hell. Mars showed it. 

1979 - Guardsmen -  Great sound, memorable and enjoyable music. 

1980 - SCV - Everyone bagged on Evita. I liked it.

I wish I was around to experience some of these great 70s shows. The dozen or show I've seen film on are great.

As for 1980 SCV- I think 1980 had the best top 4 of all time so I would imagine that while getting 7th was disappointing it was still a great show.

Cadets 2018.  Tons of emotion in that performance, and awesome because of what it meant to the corps, fans, and alumni.  I will never forget seeing it in Allentown!!
