DCImaniac Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Why is it that there are hardly any great company fronts nowadays? Of course I have not seen every show, but the last great company front I can think of off the top of my head is 1995 Cavaliers in Jupiter. Another great one is 1989 SCV. Are great tear jerker company fronts a thing of the past? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplefunk Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 2004 SCV always gets me going, even if there is a curtain ripple going on. still a company front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaghatron Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I liked Madison's company front this year. For me, it wasn't anything emotional, but I loved the way it developed. Maybe not the cleanest, but I thought it was cool. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are great tear jerker company fronts a thing of the past? THE CADETS 2000?!?!?! Oh my god you forgot one of the most emotional company fronts of all time! I can think of a few more too: The Cavaliers 2000 at the beginning (QUITE a statement!), Phantom 2003 in the end of the opener, and in the ballad; SCV 2004, Bluecoats 2006. Sure fire way to get babies in the air, no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Brace Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 There was a thread alive about a month ago on this topic. Try searching for it. Company fronts are tired and predictible for the most part. I like it when a corps sets it all up and then spins wickedly out of it just to throw a curve at an audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liebot Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 98 Cadets. Cleanest feet ever during that company front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcontra99 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 First off, the greatest company front ever in my opinion was the Madison Scout 1997. That being said. I don't think corps use them very often anymore because well...most can't do them. I mean really. Why do most corps march from random blob to a newly developed random blob, because you can hide that lack of marching ability by not marching obvious forms like a company front. As far as them being tired and old, I can't really jump on that argument. That's like high mark time being old and tired. It comes down to whether or not a group can do it. If you can't, you hide from it. I think it's a general lack of ability, and in my opinion, most of the "top 12" would struggle with a company front, so they hide from them.
