That was easy.

I'd always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die.

First of all that one second isn't a second at all.

It stretches on forever like an ocean of time.

For me it was lying on my back watching falling stars.

And yellow leaves from the maple trees.

Or my grandmother's hands and the way her skin seemed like paper.

Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and it's too much.

My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst.

And then I remember to relax and stop stop trying to hold onto it.

And then it flows through me like rain.

And I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment.

You have no idea what I'm talking about I'm sure.

But don't worry. You will someday.

 

I couldn't find this written out anywhere online so I extrapolated it from the end scene of American Beauty- may not be 100% accurate to the show. I've watched and listened to it enough to say it's pretty close.

It's amazing how BK took a profound moment from a movie I don't like at all and turned it into something so beautiful and powerful. 

I would argue that BK 14,16,17,19 have the best use of narration in all of DCI.

You’re making me cry again.  I cried every #### time.

Easy - Houdini was the reason I marched there. Also this ending

BK 14 not even close

If I had asked, after 2013, what would people be considering the best 8th place show of the 2010s, "Houdini" would have been the runaway choice.

So far in the votes, it's not even placing fifth!

I can’t believe it’s not the runner up. Can we at least award it Ms/Mr Congeniality?

BK 2014 all the way! Such a fantastic show.  Blue Stars Houdini from 2010 is runner-up for me. And BS "Call of the Wild" is 3rd. Excellent show!

Gotta go along with the crowd. BK has truly impressed me maybe 3 of the last 47 years, but 2014 was definitely one of them.

I guess, contrary to the final minutes of Cavaliers's show in 2012, that they did not have "their swagger back" that year.

Oh man.  This is hard.  Three shows on this list I LOVE.  2010 Blue Stars I talk about all the time, first really good shows I saw in competition and have been hooked on them ever since.  2014 Blue Knights was an emotional juggernaut that did narration and an emotional theme about as well as you could have.  Also really enjoyed Madison Scouts in 2015, that show was just really well done and performed on all levels.  

HM to Blue Stars this past year and in 2018, glad they’ve had two strong seasons in a row.  

Had to go with 2010 Blue Stars though, that show just shook me to the core.
