Dmlkmen Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) Great topic. Thanks for starting the discussion. 1988 Blue Devils, Since I fell for you closer and the opener. The reprise of the opener that the Blue Devils played in their 2009 show, is also one of my faves. 1991 Crossmen - Its really the whole thing from Minuano to Third Wind. But what stands out is the drum solo in Third Wind. Gets me every time. (1998’s version as wel)). 1993 has some of my favorites… 1993 Madison Scouts Strawberry Soup- Crowd Reaction at the end with the soloists on the front sideline is the definition of on fire. Arguably, any brass players dream to be those guys. 1993 - Phantom Regiment End of Estancia with the crab step into Fire of Eternal Glory. Like Madison, the crowd reaction plus the music - chills every time I hear it. 1993 - Blue Devils, the Hank Levy piece in that show. The arrangement is masterful, and that hornline playing it is just…legendary. So calming and relaxing each time I put on the Blue Devils Legacy CD in my car. 1984- Madison Scouts, Waltz of the Mushroom Hunters. A piece I would LOVE if they brought back on the field. Its just sounds so unorthodox to be in a drum corps show…Thats why I love it. Anything John Adams.... Short Ride in a Fast Machine, Harmonic Nights, Chairman’s Dances…all great. I vote for more John Adams on the field. Star 1989….The company front and the chord. G horn goodness and chills every time I hear it. If the meaning of “triumph” were to be described in music….Phantom Regiment’s 2010 opener from the Band of Brothers, and the 1992 closer for the Cavaliers. Anytime a corps has played On the Waterfront. I am with a lot of you on Shaker Loops. I love the groove of that section in Bloo’s 2015 show and find myself bobbing my head to it every time I hear it.

KVG_DC Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I'm in concurrence with many of the classics here. SCV's 2000 Barber's Adagio still hits me in the feels. That has personal resonance for me though as I've shared here before. Of recent things, I snipped BD's Everything Must Change from the rest of Metamorph to play as a single. The show as a whole didn't enthrall me, but that ballad stands as a fantastic summer jam. Listening to it by itself and with no video, you'd be hard pressed to say it was 100+ musicians on a football field and not a tight big band unit playing at some sultry summer Jazz festival.

KVG_DC Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Oh. Bloo's Creep is another great standalone number. I've introduced a fair few people to what Drum Corps can do with that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicteacher Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Cadets -- entire shows of 1983 and '84. '84 was a perfect realization of "West Side." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
