ThePlanets Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 I think I will have a unique/unpopular answer to this question. I will also give the disclaimer that my exposure is limited before 2000. The past 10 years have really been excellent for 5th place shows and I often find my favorite or second favorite show of the year landing at 5th place. My answer is the only 5th place show that makes my top 10 all time...and I watched/listened to a few other 5th place and a few of my other all time favorites and I kept coming back to this show. 2015 Santa Clara Vanguard- the Spark of Invention- its all there interesting music and drill/visuals from start to finish and one of,IMO, the best soloists in DCI history. I am just into it from start to finish Here are some others that I absolutely love: 2017 Bluecoats Jagged Line 2014 Carolina Crown Out of This World 2005 Bluecoats Caravan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Gotta go with 2000 Boston Crusaders. A breakout year for them. Fantastic show. And an old-school sleeper pick... 1975 Blue Stars. Cool show, great visual book by Bobby Hoffman. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Stars wrote out Chicago like the band on the field in concert. Pretty cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumManTx Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) I love Glassmen’s 1998 Borodin show, just great drill and music. I really like all their 5th place shows. If I had to pick one though I love Bluecoats 2005 Caravan show. Really fun. Also loved Jagged Line, that show was a blast as well. HM for 2016 Cavaliers. ....and for 2011 Phantom Regiment.

KPinCAL Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I love seeing Glassmen '98 mentioned so many times. Awesome music. Was the 2013 Coats show the Americana one? If so that is easily up there. I LOOOOOOVE that dang show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
