Danhobl Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I'm listening to the audio tracks from 1992 finals on Season Pass, and I just needed to post. Was that the best year of drum corps ever? Cavaliers - beautiful Peterloo Overture Cadets - playing Holsinger to Tame the Perilous Skies Star - everyone wanted to see them get beat, including me Blue Devils - belting out When a Man Loves a Woman after taking off their jackets (and their guard in red spandex) Madison Scouts - powerful brass and percussion, City of Angels Crossmen - Songs for the Planet Earth, awesome music Santa Clara - Fiddler on the Roof * the bottle dance Phantom - classic white, costuming, 1812 Overture Blue Knights - playing Copland Velvet Knights - Magical Mystery Tour, how funny were they - but they could actually play and march too. I went back and started listening to the old stuff because sometimes in this new world of B flat horns, amps, strange shows with doors at obnoxious characters, you just need to go back and listen to the "good" stuff. Anyone with me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMS0527 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 '92 is close, but for me it's '91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrothgar15 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I don't get it. Was Star's show that year accepted or not accepted by most audience members? Form the audience response on the recording (plus "'92 Champions!"), I'm guessing the former. Than, and this is an AMAZING, wayyyyyy underrated show.

Anyone with me? ehh - I disagree. Cavaliers were great - Cadets show with tons of GE but also a lot of dirt (that was the "show of the year" imo) Star was booed for no reason - I wanted to strangle folks every show - PATHETIC behavior on those people's part BD, Madison shows both had a lot of issues Xmen were terrific - especially the drums SCV were a mess... BK eh, not my favorite show from them (flat emotionally), VK was fun but dirty dirty. Last year 2005 was a much better top 12 (for me) as where many other seasons (like 1990, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, etc) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) I don't get it. Was Star's show that year accepted or not accepted by most audience members? Form the audience response on the recording (plus "'92 Champions!"), I'm guessing the former. Than, and this is an AMAZING, wayyyyyy underrated show. Star got booed by midwest corps "fans" (scout fans, cavalier fans) - they were sick of watching star beat their corps - booed them silly and really never "liked" cavaliers 92 until semis when they upended star - they all suddenly ran to the cavaliers souvie booth to pick up t-shirts (finals night half the crowd seemed to have never worn before cavalier gear on) and suddenly next night were the corps biggest fans ever - clapping them on and off the field, cheering when star was announced in 3rd - etc... I haven't seen such behavior since middle school To this day I can't watch Scouts without thinking about their fans behavior during this era Edited July 5, 2006 by George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pags Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I preferred 1993 and 1995. Both of those years had great Top-6's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90'sMelloguy Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Umm I dont know. I was not a big fan of anyone in 92 except Cavies Now 93 was awesome, so was 95, and 97.....but I would have to say the best all around season for me (as a spectator) was 2003. Great corps with great shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
