An acrobatic group from Taiwan?

The bell rang 29 times for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald. 

Correct on both counts!

  • As the Sun Loved the Moon (7th Regiment 2017)
  • Passion in Red (Stentors 2019)

Thanks for these two.  I realized I only had 10 and just went back to add these two...along with the obligatory gif.

2017 Seattle Cascades "Set Free"

Took my sister and nephew to their first ever drum corps event that year, and that was the show she liked the most.

Colts - All of them, Katie.

I didn't realize that was a meme.

Wild Horses (Troopers 2015)

When a preview performance of that show was streamed in June of that year, I wrote here that Troopers seemed likely to make it back to Finals.

Missed by .075!

Pre-medal bonus round! Please use this thread to list your twelve favorite DCI shows from 2010-2019 that didn't make Finals. [...]

Some guidelines. [...] And while I'm not going to enforce this, I strongly encourage you to try and pick at least one-third of your shows from the first half of the decade: or at least, be mindful of the possibility that you could be overlooking older shows.

I've been pleased to see many people listing plenty of older shows among their choices. Just came across this great 1923 quote from G.K. Chesterton that seems apt:

"My attitude toward progress has passed from antagonism to boredom. I have long ceased to argue with people who prefer Thursday to Wednesday because it is Thursday.”

I like the arrangement of Lionel Richie's "Hello" that Blue Devils B used in this year's show.

(Vanguard Cadets, 2012: "Heroes and Legends." Even with a greatest hits playlist, this show underscored that Open Class only means open to anything ... wonderful!)

I bought the t-shirt for that show.

My absolute favorite in all of this: N.E. Brigand's taking the time to roll out this meticulously researched and articulated list. Thank you!

My pleasure! Thanks for the kind words.

(I'm bumping this thread one last time to give anyone who missed it a chance to respond before I tabulate the results.)

And thanks to the 19 people who participated and chose more than 190 shows. I'll be posting the finals resuls as an edit to the first post shortly.
