BD 2000 is one of those weird shows that (for me) was better early season when it was more raw-sounding musically. It felt almost too refined by finals week. I don't know how to explain it. Funny enough for me, I felt the show was way better without the tag on the end. I like when it just ... ended. Boom. Mike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That opening drill is unreal. 150 people are not supposed to move so effortlessly like that. My literal introduction to DCI. BD was just starting on the PBS broadcast as I was channel surfing and seeing them glide across the field stopped me in my tracks — plus I knew the music! Taxi Driver, unforgettable. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadets and Cavies were amazing! I think the top 12 in 2000 as a whole is a very underrated. What's interesting is as much as the Cadets and Cavies were slaying it, looking at the finals recaps, BD was going blow for blow with the both of them, including taking a couple of captions, and some 2nd's in other captions. It was the 6th place finish in drums that did them in. No doubt the "Incident" played a part in that. There is no way BDs drummers weren't shaken up and affected by that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 2000 was my favorite top 3 I ever saw live at finals. Went to 98,99,00, and 07...thanks again for that, @JohnD!. That top 3 in 2000 was a riot. The only other top 3 that compares for me is 93, and I never got to see any of those corps live, just on the PBS broadcast.

Unfortunately for me, 2023 was my first DCI Finals, so that would be my favorite top three live lol. But if I was able to add my favorite regardless of live viewing or not, I gotta go with 2003. BD- Phenomenon of Cool Cavies- Spin Cycle Cadets- My Favorite Things That's a filthy top three that I would put up against any year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methods of Madness remains my favorite BD show to date. I love how every now and then they take a break from jazz and go totally dark and weird. Fingers crossed we get dark and weird this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But comes running on at the last minute as they take the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
