Lets see how I can break this down.

This past year. IW - Blessed Sac and Northern Lights B)

IO - I am partial to Alter Ego - love those kids, but St John's Beverly had a pretty good package.

IA - didn't get to see much, but High Voltage had a great show.

SW - who else but James Logan - helloooooooo

SO - didn't see too many.

SA - I dont think I saw a one, sorry - not to be rude - just the facts.

Of all time - 1983 Quasar B)

runner-up - 1988 Union High School

some other close contenders in my favorites - 1984 Conquest, 1989 Blessed Sac, 2001 James Logan, 1994 Emerald Marquis.

I forget what guard it was...they are on the Fan's Favorite DVD....might have been Pride...wearing yellow body suits...performed to Channel One Suite...I think that is the most perfectly designed indoor show I have ever seen...and I've seen alot...there doesn't seem to be a movement, form or portion of work that doesn't fit....incredible.... :angry:

Okay, so I'm a bit biased on this one, but Sonnor has always come out with some of the most beautiful shows I've ever seen - and they always make it look so effortless:

1988 France 1900's

1989 An American in Paris

1991 Kate Bush - This Woman's Work

1992 Sinead O'Connor - Three Babies

1994 - Sarah McCloughlin

1999 - The Paintings Year

2001 - My Favorite Things

But who can forget:

1987 Union High School - The Mannequin year

1989 Blessed Sac - If you could Read my Mind

1993 (I think) Victoriaville Phoenix - The Schoolgirl Year

2002 -Fantasia's Kama Sutra show

Later,

Mike

State Street Review RULED back in the day!

1987 was a HOT year in WGI

State Street - Heaven & ####

Miller's Blackhawks - The World Is Alive With Color (My all-time fave show!)

Union High School - Mannequin (When that huge fabric cover rolled to the back of the floor & all the members had "turned into" REAL mannequins I peed on myself!LOL)

Escapades....."It's the End of the World"......I think it was either 1993 or '94....I'd have to get my tape out to see, but I tell you, it was a non stop performance and only got better as it went on. The drill looked like something Brubaker himself wrote with breath taking guard work to compliment.
