Off the top of my head:

Phantom Regiment 1997 - The show doesn't get a lot of praise on here, but I LOVE the tag ending (can't beleive that added that much for finals week).

Glassmen 1999 - closser - from the unison horn statement until the end. Great stuff with the mellos playing that crazy little run while moving in a circle around part of the pit.

SCV 2000 - The ending to Adagio for Strings (not sure if the topic is only for show endings) - simply moving.

Yes....just watched it a few days ago. I love the ending of the piece before the tag as well; those 20 or so seconds literally perfectly epitomize classic Phantom Regiment. Sheer overwhelming power to end that piece.

I don't have the video up at school, but that's still one of my favorite shows/endings ever (Glassmen '99). The unison brass statement towards the end is one of the best hornline moments in the history of drum corps, and I don't feel like that's an exaggeration at all. It's really too bad that it seems so unlikely that this show will ever wind up in theaters.

I also just watched Cadets '97 recently, and I must say....someone once posted here, criticizing the fact that the show ended with those eighth notes....that was pure ignorance, really. I thought the eighth notes were incredibly effective; perfectly capturing the playful humor that was prevalent throughout the whole show.

My personal favorite ending of all time is BD 1995.

other favorites:

BD '91, 00, 06

Bluecoats 96

....I just realized, there's no way I'm going to list them, there's honestly way too many. Sorry. Drum corps are really good at ending shows.

Another one: PR 91 - Pagliacci - The hornline is facing backfield in the shape of a heart - and the sound is simply amazing.

Cadets 1999 - Big Apple - about the last minute of the show:

Classic kaleidoscope drill, a strong hornline pushing to the end, and soaring Cadets mellophones doing crazy runs.

Edit: HAVE to mention the endings to Madison 97, and BD 94-95

04 Madison- half the hornline stops playing and they don't get any softer. Then they reenter, and the whole thing gets a LOT louder!

91 BD, about the last minute or so of the show. Hornline's playing some insanely loud stuff as they unwind into the end-zone to end-zone company front.
