Phantom Regiment...one word - LUCIOUS!!!

I'm looking forward to hearing SCV on the DVDs/CDs though!

I thought MADISON had a great show. The drill and music were both written very well. The corps also got back into the Top 6. Good for them!!

Definitely have to go with Bluecoats - I've never really been a Coats fan before, but this show just blew me away.. A lot of fun.

Phantom Regiment was simply incredible - first using what can best be described as "overused' music (I mean I even played it in drum corps way back in 1985) and making it absolutely incredible  to listen to...

AND THEN...that stunning color guard.  To me they represented EVERYTHING that a guard should be in a show and then some.  The work, the color palette, the moods and the costume changes. Everything served to enhance the MUSICAL PRODUCTION - which sometimes gets lost in guard shows today.

A close second is the Bluecoats - wow, what a show.  They definately have come into their own over the last few years and their 2005 production was nothing short of breathtaking.

And rounding out my top three (okay four) are Crown and Cadets - two corps that took chances in design and left me awed.  Crown with its subtle programming choices and Cadets for being in left field (and that's where I love them).

I couldn't agree more about Phantom, They restored my faith in drum corps.

And when I see the results of that poll, you have wonder is anybody paying

attention to what the public wants.

1-Every section of the Cadets was on! Brass. Drums. Guard. Marchinhg. Cooking staff. All Great!

2-Phantom just gave me goosebumps. If show were judged on crowd reaction...

3-Bluecoats just kept on pushing every show. Watch out top 3 next year.

I totally agree. I voted for Madison. I think this wins best show design in my book. Commuinication of their visual and music book was def top 6 quality. Obviously Cadets and Phantom follow that awesomeness.

And I definately support Crown's improvement. THe chord at the end of the opener was just awesome...the mellos just sail over the whole hornline.

Woo look at Phantom's Votes! 3rd place are often fan favorites.
