Skeletor '96 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 So which was better? I prefer the more “restrained” 1991 version, if you can ever call the Scouts restrained. It was more like the 1988 opener than Malaga or the Pirates. In 1991 they closed with the more light-hearted “I’m Nothing Without You”. In 1992 they left it out and went straight to ripping our faces off with a kicked-up “Funny”. This was the start of the Madison “rip your face off" style that dominated from 1992-1998. Lots of fun!

Weaklefthand4ever Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Had to watch them both again. I'm gonna have to go with '92 as well. MUCH better drill than '91 and that horn line just rips your face off in the last minute or so. I didn't have a baby by my computer so I threw my mouse at the screen instead. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 The tweaks from 91 to 92 make all the difference.... and finals site helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 92 soprano line was piercing so I vote for 92 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a young fan and then an MM, I was not very amicable to it. As a much older fan, I can sit back without all of the emotion of "who I want to win / place" weighing on me. I would have to agree too that a hometown advantage is something that shouldn't be dismissed. 1991 was what...Dallas if I remember right? No one was going to beat Star that year IMHO regardless of the venue. Edited February 23, 2020 by Weaklefthand4ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the same for 65 Royal Airs, 08 Phantom, 14 Blue Devils, and 16 Bluecoats. Bonus audio of the 65 RA inside the 65 VFW. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Lz7-V_Vt-w Edited February 23, 2020 by Ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbviking Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Gotta go with 92. Moving Funny to the closer, along with the drum break, were really what moved it past 91. Both years were tremendous, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
