JimF-LowBari Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Have audio of shows going back to 1950 and video with sound back to mid 1960s. I know what my favorite is but best decade…. Any decade where the activity still exists 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris ncsu Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 1990s! But I'm answering this as my favorite decade, not the best. Who am I to define best?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 my "best" 10 years would fall 84 to 93 - jmo corps still played actual whole songs with a complete music idea, it was still acoustic, but the visual "revolution" was underway - sorry that's not exactly a decade 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keystone3ply Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Could the best decade of drum corps be decided by the highest final's scores or highest average for the entire season? I know, this opens up another can of worms; different score sheets, standards, apples to apples, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drum Corps won DCI in the 70's two (three?) years without breaking 90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Continental Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 My first live corps experience was 1980. I was blown away by what I saw. The '80s is one of my favorite decades in DCI because it was the beginning of an activity that I still watch to this day. Someone just posted all the corps that appeared at DCI East, Allentown that year on YouTube - the show that 27th won over Devils. So many different perspectives not shown on the finals broadcast that year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend from high school (lead soprano) and my girlfriend from 1979 Lancers (keyboard).
