I’m really sorry they did that because if you weren’t going to do it right, then don’t do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hill Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Have always loved shows that "came out of nowhere!" When I read the topic here -- thanks, HockeyDad -- two shows that fit immediately came to mind. Had the good fortune to write 1980 album liner notes when championships were in Birmingham, where I lived for 40 years. We counted 200+ shows that I saw that year, including the 21st place Secaucus, NY Royal Brigade, offering at least half a glimpse into the future of drum corps. The music: NBC Chimes Festival, Boogie Wonderland, and Celebration Suite set the pace, but disco ball silver lame/sequin jumpsuits had replaced the "Brigade" uniform of just the year before. Still: the corps was not the Bridgeman; it had not abandoned the militaristic bearing and presentation enough to completely sell what would have otherwise been a breakthrough show for the times. But the first show that came to mind, and seemingly "out of nowhere" was from a corps that in 2003 had mistakenly attempted "New World Symphony." Phantom's classic from 1989 was still in fan's minds. But but. ... in 2004, with a musical book of Holsinger arranged by Jay Bocock and a drill by Jeff Sacktig, Columbus, OH Capital Regiment etched themselves in my drum corps heart, and into 14th place, with "Celebration of Life: Mind, Body, and Spirit." I rewatched the show before sitting down to write this. The triad was played for effect, rather than explication. It holds up beautifully today. Capital Regiment's 2005 show "Chiaroscuro!" sported a rolling prop -- just one, too small even then -- that would seem underplayed today. At the time, it felt ... well, at least to me ... as a promising precursor of things to come. Just like Royal Brigade's disco ball-themed jumpsuits had seemed in 1980. TImes like those when we all love being fans in the stands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikah Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Anytime I get to see the Blue Devils live! I never think of the Blue Devils as one of my favorite corps until I see them live. Then, they become my favorite corps for the night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Guns Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Academy 2016. Saw them early in the season in Riverside. I remember commenting here on the forum that all corps with the goal of making top 12 were just put on notice. What a great show! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mello Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 A little bit different for me because it wasn't my favorite show at the time: '98 Glassmen. We were standing backfield mingling with the Cavaliers waiting for retreat and the big hit near the beginning made the group I was with turn our heads in unison. I couldn't believe that sound was coming from the Glassmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
