PR_ducky Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 The "favorite shows-only one from each year" thread prompted me to throw this out. OK, I am biased cause I marched 89 Regiment, but these two shows (both awesome) seem to divide the crowds about down the middle. Just curious as to others opinions on the top two corps in what was an amazing season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcontra99 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Both were excellent. Both are 2 of my top 10 favorite shows of all time. But, had Phantom not had that ride cymbal part in the show, I would have picked, them, so I have to go with SCV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommySopranoContra Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Phantom 89 Santa Clara Vanguard 89 Im split. Hey... Cadets 1989 was great too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bawker Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Always liked the 88 SCV a little better. So... 89 Phantom, by a narrow margin, for me. The baritone solo filled up the entire stadium. :) Besides, how do you top a comment like "Judges, are you watching!?" right before the earth opens up at the end of the show? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyRyder_FMM Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 (edited) Personally, I personally believe that Phantom's lack of marching during the precussion feature, a dirty percussion feature, and the ride hat cymbal playing during the ballad cost them the title. Yes, PR won visual performance, but they didn't win GE visual. What better time to show off the marching abilities than when not playing? I just find that part of the show void of GE. The exposed ticks in the drum line just killed them. Oh so close, but yet so far. Both SCV and PR were awesome that year. But let's not also forget perhaps my favorite Cavaliers show. They were right up there too. Edited September 2, 2005 by SkyRyder_FMM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcontra99 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 It might be safe to say that 89 was a great year all around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a lot of great shows that season. I remember one guy saying the Cadets (Les Mis that year) were the best 5th place corps of all time LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious as to others opinions on the top two corps in what was an amazing season. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have to say that I have always liked 1989 Phantom Regiment more than 1989 Santa Clara Vanguard. Actually, I listen to the shows more than I watch them (only saw SCV live, and that was in the early season). I don't mind PR's ride cymbal, but I do mind a couple musical flubs in SCV's show finals - specifically, 1) the really bad xylophone phasing in the pit at one point and 2) some pretty bad fracks in a couple of the sop solos. Being in California, I love Vanguard, but my pick for 1989 is definitely Phantom. Bob Childs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 phantom all the way, dvorak would've ###### himself to see how well they performed his pieces. this show was the reason i bought the 89 legacy dvd, the only one i own to this day. i'll be buying more soon, and have grown to love many shows from that year including scv's-but nothing gets me like regiment did that year :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
