fourouttheforty Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Cadets, hands down. Who would have thought (and pulled off) putting in that kind of beat into a ballad. I like Crown and the Cavies too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bssop97 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Crown for me, I like what they where doing on the field to it more then Cadets with Dancer in the Dark which is a close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMichael1230 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Blue Devils - If we were in love, 1989. brilliant, breathtaking and it doesnt get much better than that. ~G~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoFan Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 It's a toss-up for me between Crossmen and Crown, but the edge might go to Crossmen. I also enjoyed Colts and thought Pioneer had a really nice ballad -- there just wasn't enough of it. Just as you began to become emersed in the music, it was over.

cadets54 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'd go with Crown - it was really well staged (and played) BUT IMO a tad long.So - the execution and staging of the Cadets ballad had me misty-eyed finals night. That was amazing. SO - verdict is: CADETS <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would have to agree with you George on your pick of the Cadets. I was also misty-eyed at Allentown and Giants Stadium. Overall I thought the Cadets show was just amazing and how they pulled it off! 1st pick: Cadets 2nd pick: Crown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple Forte Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 a lot of corps this season had beautiful ballads. i personally think that glassmen had the prettiest ballad. i also liked cadets' ballad. it doesn't have to be top 12, out of all of div 1, who had the best ballad. based on your own qualifications for a good ballad. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ooohh........this is a tad tricky..... Cadets and a VERY close 2nd Crown....... Crown really had the most difficult ballad.....lots of releases and attacks for the brass....and I dont recall hearing a single bad attack all three nights....amazing Triple Forte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyASU Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Cadets 2005 is one of the best ballads ever in my book. The intensity just builds and builds, the brass is unreal, and the percussion work really makes the piece great IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
