shostahoosier Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 For me the cleanest visual moment I have ever seen has to be that rotating block that the Blue Devils opened their 97 show with. In regards to musical cleanliness, I've always loved the exposed release near the end of 93 Phantom Regiment's "Fire of Eternal Glory".

tommytimp Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Thought of another one: Bridgemen 82. In "Shaft," there's an open snare roll that comes out of nowhere that may be the cleanest snare lick I've ever heard...and on old-school, big hardware, low-cranked Slingerlands, too.

SACMellos2010 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Surprised that when talking "Cleanest" the 92 Star Line not talked of much. We did not have the same demand as our other 90's books but probably our cleanest line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR_ducky Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 was just listening to 03 regiment and can't believe how clean some of those releases are. you can hear the echo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robot Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I'm going to have to say 2005 Cadets when the hornline was in the big hold in the closer right before the end of the show. that was quite possibly one of the cleanist sets I ever seen. the fact that they came from running into a PERFECT set blows my mind every time i see it. and not to mention many other moments in that show where no matter how hard i try i just can't find a person out of place.

TexasPRfan Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 A few that come to mind for me: 1996 Phantom Regiment - squeaky clean drill - especially the opener, and those horn line licks, just heaven. 1997 Blue Devils - maybe the cleanest ever? THE ENTIRE SHOW 2005 Crown Ballad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvinpr89 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 The sets in 05 Cadets may have been clean, but they had a lot of interval problems while getting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvinpr89 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 The sop runs in throughout Phantom 96 were pretty clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow Adam Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 1996 Phantom Regiment - squeaky clean drill - especially the opener, and those horn line licks, just heaven. This is my absolute favourite drum corps show, but the opener did have some visual dirt.. Now I dont imagine going from a random "peanut" blob into a solid triangle is the easiest thing to clean, but nevertheless it was dirty. Only a few of those diagonals are truly straight and the contra intervals are bad along the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raphael18 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 That picture looks like it was taken from the side, and it appears that there is a contra hole, or at least a diagnol that doesn't have one. Regardless, I loved that effect, and think it is really cool. I don't think anyone has mentioned the 2001 Blue Devils, but that was a CLEAN show - what a hornline. In fact, BD 94 had many moments where you just couldn't ask for anything more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
