CorpsBuff Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I always found it interesting to see what everyone else thinks about topics that I've thought of. What I'm going to do (and hope that others will as well) is list the finalists from last years DCA Open class finals, and list my favorite year from that corps and see what others have to say about it. Connecticut Hurricanes - 1969 CorpsVets - 2004 Carolina Gold - 2003 Hawthorne Caballeros - 1976 (one of my all time favorite shows) Minnesota Brass Inc. - 1999 San Francisco Renegades - 2005 Syracuse Brigadiers - 2001 Bushwackers - 1989 Empire Statesmen - 2004 Reading Buccaneers - 2005 (I'm Biased, if I had to pick another it would be 1985) This is not a slight to any corps who did not make finals last year or who are inactive but i thought this would be a nice little list to make.

Morphy00 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I never get to see any shows other than maybe a corps or two at prelims after we're done. But from what I can remember or have clips of... Bucs - 2005 - amazing top to bottom Renegades - 2004 - never saw the show but I enjoyed our place swapping that year :) Empire - 1998 - Don't really remember much of the show but they had a big prop thing MBI - 2003 Kilties - 2006 - Best I've heard them sound in my drum corps years Brigs - 1999 - yay Channel One I don't remember any other shows! More corps needs to travel to the midwest so I can experience DCA before finals every year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithHall Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Crusaders 1990....."Channel One Suite" and "Something" Horn line was at the top back then and Beth was the best conductor IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
