Guest GeorgeD Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Star brought some awesome horn sounds to the field..and now they are doing the same on the stage. A lot of folks think the 1991 Championship edition, with the running mello line and all the different voicings was the greatest Star line ever... A lot of folks "in the know" feel that the 1992 edition was one of the most "mature" sounding junior corps lines ever. So which Star version made you shout "best ever"!

dcidevils1 Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 My vote on the poll went to Star 91. Without doubt their best. Especially the mellos. Clear and crisp. Plus along the their visuals--one of the best played of all time!! Gregg From The Pressbox... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 Well, for all intents and purposes, "Blast" is probably the best of all of them, but from the drum corps years, 93 is, IMO, the best. I loved the show as a whole, and I was blown away by the hornline (even though I've only heard recordings of it :) ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffsjetta Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 91 all the way...i'm a drummer, so for a hornline to grab me is hard to do...but wow......that mello line polayed more notes than the drumline did! ^:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tiger of San Pedro Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 As much as I love 91, I have to say 93. Pines had me very impressed, but Medea had me awed, from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malibu Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Curious, Why do you call yourself "Tiger of San Pedro?" That piece was used by a couple of corps in the early '80s' Great chart that rocks! CNAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cainan Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 I remember back in 1991, one of our horn instructors made our hornline go and sit down and listen to Star of Indiana's hornline. He said "THAT is what a hornline SHOULD sound like". Now in our defense, the Freelancers didnt have all that shabby of a hornline ourselves (7th). But all things being equal, we couldnt hold a candle to Star. They were absolutely mind boggling. That being said, I also really dug the "Americana" show in 1992... Cheers!!

mrshowfan Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 Although, I personally think that 90 Star had a more balls to the wall show, 91 is bar far better executed. Those mids are gods. It doesnt even sound like they are marching. Impecable technique, control and balance. We are not worthy!! I think it gets my vote for one of the best sounding hornline of all time.

FarmerFred Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 I marched from 1989 to 1993 and had the pleasure of seeing many incredible corps (other than the ones I marched for) during those summers. While I will agree that 1991 was an incredible year for Star and indisputably one of the defining shows of DCI through the years I have to say that the 1990 edition of Star of Indiana was a pivotal show not only for their own growth but for DCI altogether. Belshazzar's Feast (sp) was certainly a memorable show from the many that occured in 1990. It was a close call between 1991 and 1990 but Iid have to tip my hat to 1990. S.

Zaromas Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 '89 - The first year it was hip to be a euphonium player (BALLZ) '90 - best listening - can't hear it too many times '91 - Great alto line but the book didn't really toss me like '90 did '92 - *gag* '93 - Model horn line - set a standard that still has yet to be met.
