n8thedrummerboy Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 cadets or (get this) crown. I like both of their guards this year a lot. Cavies get honerable mention though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMichael1230 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 2000 Crown Colorguard was one of the best I've seen in a long time. Rifle line was on fire !! Work and execution were out of this world. ~G~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work and execution were out of this world. ~G~ amen to that Geoff! so was the sabre line in the opener - wow! I watch that tape a lot! It sucked what happened to them in finals when they went on with the stadium being half-shadows and half-sun. You could tell they were losing stuff in the air. Definitely one of my favs!

BennyASU Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 Crown has an amazing guard program! 2000 was absolutely on fire! 2001 was so underrated i thought. They were so effective with the wood colored rifles, and the beautiful flag work in the ballad with the tires! just plain awesome!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickCogley Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 27th if they were still around. Different style though from what's common today, I'd venture to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoFan Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 27th if they were still around. Different style though from what's common today, I'd venture to say. I would also have to go with the 27th Lancers. Year in and year out, during the mid-70s to mid-80s, they had one of the most consistent and innovative guards in the activity. I believe they reached their peak around 1979-1980 when the quality of their work, its difficulty, creativity, and their execution were head and shoulders above anyone else. They set the standards by which all others were measured. No, they didn't do interpretive dance; no they didn't use props; and yes, their work may seem somewhat slow by today's standards, but I would challenge any of today's units to achieve the same kind of unison, the same kind of attention to detail, and the same level of overall execution that those girls pulled-off night after night.

SCVAlumniGuard Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Who remembers Cadets work in 93? Ask me 8 years ago and I would be able to remember that guard work. Now a days I can't remember what happened yesterday. The 93 Cadets guard was the guard that motivated me to send them a video and write a letter because I really wanted to audition. Unfortunately, I was 17 and my parents weren't fond of the idea of me living in NJ and them in CA. I watch the DCI video of the Cadets that year every now and then. That was the only show I thought to myself...man the music was made for the guard! At DCI this past weekend I bought my 2 year old son a t-shirt that says "Someday I'll be in the Cadets" My loyal SCV friends weren't too thrilled. <_< SCValumniguard (Reese's mom) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
