MikeN Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 For the current top 12, in just my opinion, obviously: Cadets 88-92 Cavaliers 00-04 (though I also have to mention 88-92) Phantom Regiment 89-93 Blue Devils 88-92 Madison Scouts 88-92 Bluecoats 01-05 Carolina Crown 95-99 Boston Crusaders 99-03 Santa Clara Vanguard 96-00 Blue Knights 00-04 Glassmen 91-95 Spirit 99-03 Some of those weren't their highest placing, but to me they're the best shows. :) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluecoats88 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 two for bluecoats 1986-1990 breaking into top 25 for 1st time, then finals, then 8th place and breaking 90. 2001-2005 steady climb up, first time in top 6 and now a show that could push them into top 5, but definately has moved them into the next group up.

jwillis35 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 SCV 1972-1976 (even up to 1978) BD 1976 - 1980 (even up to 1982) Garfield 1982 - 1987 (6 years) Cadets 1990 - 1998 (9 years, 3 titles, 4 2nd-place finshes, one 3rd-place finish but still runner-up to PR and BD, and only one non-top five show in 1991.) And every show is amazing in my opinion. Phantom Regiment 1977 - 1981 (even up to 1984) Phantom Regiment 1989 - 1993 Phantom Regiment 2001 - 2005 (think about this) Bluecoats 1987 - 1991 Bluecoats 2001 - 2005 Star of Indiana 1989 - 1993 (for sheer excellence, innovation, mastery of material, design, you name it, this may be the best 5 year history of any corps, even over the great BD, SCV, and Cadets spans.) Only 1 title, yes. But 3 quarterfinal wins in a row, a re-defining of brass and percussion excellence, incredible drill and the final brush strokes of Zingali, 4 brass titles (a few with BD), and the innovation of total show design that too drum corps to the next level since Garifeld 1983. Say what you want, but we all refer back to the Star 1993 show for a reason. All top 5 shows, and honestly the last 4 could have all been title winning shows.

TexasPRfan Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 (edited) Iin no particular order: Star 89-93 Madison 74-78 (thanks for the reminder, Jonathan) Regiment 89-93 Regiment 93-97 BD 95-00 (That would be six, but I made an executive decision to exclude 96) SCV 87-91 Cadets 89-93 Regiment 01-05 Crown 95-99 Cavaliers 88-92 Regiment 78-82 SCV 96-00 Harvey Edited August 3, 2005 by TexasPRfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skajerk Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 1982-86 Suncoast Sound (Gee, big surprise eh? B) ) From almost making the big show in 82 to that brass sound in '86. A highly underated corps, IMO. I'm going to cheat and do a group of six years.Bluecoats '00-'05. 'nuff said. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And I'll cheat a little further and go with a tie between the Kingsmen, SCV and BD from 1972-82. A decade of champions with only one non-CA corps (Madison) taking it all. Kingsmen (1), SCV (4), BD (5) including 7 year win streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
