liebot Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 weak? you call that weak? why, just bc its not a traditional ending? what did you find weak about it... esp in 93... It just seemed kind of rushed... There was no real build into it and it just came out of nowhere (the ending, that is). I don't know, just my personal opinion. I love the rest of both of those shows, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

year1buick Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 eh... i can understand your point of view... i just like it bc it was loud as fcuk! 94 was the year we (the baritone/euph line) got the nickname "Buicks" (not 89). During one of the pre-show warmups, Bill Peterson (the caption head at the time) was having us play the begining of White Witch Doctor. I guess he thought we were being a little too nice with it and gave us the analogy that, if the sopranos were the Porches of the corps, then the baritones had to be the Buicks-- we took it as a complement, of course. (severely paraphrased there-- it's been a while...) The name immediately stuck. Shortly thereafter, he termed the three, long baritone notes before the Witch Doctor drum break as the Buick mating call. It got to be a hype, playing the mating call "loud as ****" before the shows. (you'd practically needed a cup standing in front of that arc...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegimentContra94 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I remember playing that warming up in Penn. somwhere. We played the da-da-da triplet and Bill stopped us laughing and said, "Man, that was really loud!" My favorite part of the show is still Clair De Lune. We played that for half the season without a conductor, if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deftguy Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I choose 78-81(yes I know I cheated :P ) because they were so powerful in those years. Their guard was one of my favorites during those years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneersop98 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 1996-1997 or 2003-2004 or 2004-2005 This is hard! Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcn8 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I pick 1996 -- I agree with others, I'd take either 1995 or 1997 to complete the duo. Both were great shows. Honorable mention -- '92/'93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalieguy Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) 78-79 or 88-89 It took me a long time to become a fan of PR. But it didn't take me long to appreciate what they do, these shows just happen to be my faves.

Jared_mello Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) My favorite part of the show is still Clair De Lune. We played that for half the season without a conductor, if I remember correctly. Likewise. One of the most well-performed ballads of all time in my opinion, as far as setting up a "moment" and truly selling it. I was certainly convinced....the reverance in the performance was incredible. And I wasn't even there to experience it with the moon and all. :) Without a conductor? Why? Edited February 8, 2006 by Jared_mello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
