Me too! There were some subtleties in that show that really connected with me. As an aside, I remember someone on here ranting about them playing John Adams’ Nixon in China. They thought Blue Stars were glorifying communism. Lol

I'm reminded of a film critic's comment about the Tom Hanks movie, Cast Away, which I paraphrase: "In the end, it feels like a commercial for Fed Ex. Don't get me wrong: I use Fed Ex and I like Fed Ex. But I go to them to be sent, not moved."

A dead heat right now between Corps of Brothers and Where the Heart Is.

It’s definitely the Madison show for me.

Well, they're in the lead now.

Blue Stars get my vote for sure. Such a sentimental and moving (heh) production.  Boston was a very close second. The 2009-2012 era Crusaders put out some terrific and memorable productions.

I was stuck on Blue Stars 2014 and BK 2011 for this one. Both excellent shows with beautiful music but I have Blue Stars 2014 the slight edge

Blue Stars 2014 takes the title for me. One of their best-designed shows of the decade, even if not their highest-placing.

Honorable mentions: Both of the Madison shows were also very well done and emotional, although not quite reaching the overall emotional heights of their 2011 show, IMO.

Wow, this year's Cadets show has yet to get a single vote.
