Top 5 Spine-Tingling Moments of All-Time

[Schickmeister]

The end of SCV 1999 gets me going pretty good...musically anyways

[Paq]

Kingsmen color guard file off the line in 74

SCV bottle dance - every mouth in the audience was agape

Troopers sunburst first and every time

LaSalle Cadets soprano soloist screaming above everyone

27th Danny Boy -

Kingsmen closer "So Very Hard to Go"

And many times just seeing certain corps' equipment trucks

pull into the parking lot (i.e. when Kingsmen pulled in with

their truck which read "Kingsmen Drum & Bugle Corps & Color Guard")

That was hot.

1. Cadets 87- Dissolving company front

I'd have to think to hard to come up with a list of only five most thrilling moments, but that one is definitely at the very top of my list. Star '93, BD '94, Crown '06, Cavaliers '95, and PR '91 would all be in the top ten, at least. Hard to narrow it down, tho. :D

1.) 1993 Star of Indiana, Dance of Vengeance from Medea (the closer)

2.) 2003 Phantom Regiment, The Cannon Reprise

3.) 2003 Blue Devils Closer

4.) 1991 Star of Indiana, The Epiphany (the closer)

5.) 2006 Phantom Regiment, Mahler's Second (the closer)

5.) 1989 Santa Clara Vanguard, The company front at the end

Devils 86 - First Hit in Opener - Should also be in the top 5 Loudest Moments.

[Maestro767]

star 91 - company front in the opener

star 93 - dance of vengeance

scv 87 - end of russian xmas

scv 89 - company front in music of the night

scv 99 - last 30 seconds

scv 00 - adagio impact and release

pr 93 - fire of eternal glory push into the wedge

pr 95 - rhapsody on a theme of paganini (thru the window)

pr 03 - canon reprise

bd 98 - intro

cavies 90 - all things bright and beautiful impact

cavies 98 - dance movements final impact

My Personal Top 5 Totally Biased Moments

(in no particular order)

1. Cavaliers 2001- 3rd Corner Rock-Out. All season I was nodding my head to that one.

2. Bluecoats 2000- Screaming duet till the end. Nearly tears me up every time, even 6 years later.

3. SCV 2000- Adagio for Strings. No caption needed. :)

4. BD 1992- WAMLAW closer. Freaking amazing musically. So much individual visual intensity

5. Bluecoats 2001- First notes of Red Cape Tango- the song that started the modern Bluecoats

Honorable mention- Crown 2000- Diego's Goodbye. Gorgeous. Most underrated ballad of all time IMO

ohh . . sure, I'll play.

1- Jupiter Chorale semi-company front near the end of 1995 Cavaliers. One of my favorite pieces of music performed by my favorite corps . . . it's beautiful.

2- last 30 or so seconds of Star 91 . . . ridiculous. I'll never forget the first time I saw it. I could not believe it. And those mellos. Wow.

3- last minute of Niagara Falls. I think you all understand that.

4- Cavaliers 2002

5- Phantom 96's opener. Another one of my favorite pieces of music (introduction to the fourth ballet suite). The climax of that is . . freaking sweet. total drum corps.
