bigbadjosh89 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 When I am asked what my favorite show is, I am often conflicted (as most are). But my reason is because there are certain shows that have amazing sections that I love, often tempting me to call that one "my favorite show." Perhaps I did not even remotely enjoy the other sections, but I absolutely love that one 2 minute section that I could watch the show over and over. Or maybe I did like the rest of the show, but there is just one section that blows me away every time. Get waht I'm saying? What are your favorite snip-its of DCI shows, perhaps 1-2 minutes long, that you love, even if the show as a whole doesn't tickle your fancy, or even if it does? For me, 2003 Cadets Malaguena, from the pit accelerando to the end of the drum break, is the best 2 minutes in drum corps. The rest of the show is okay, and very clean, but that section is just awesome (to me). Also, the first minute of '04 Cavies, building up to the hit, is awesome. That is perhaps my favorite moment that I have seen live. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backstrom Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Most of Cavaliers 2000 is very enjoyable to watch. But the drill executed around the diamond cutter is quite amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captncontra Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 '94 Phantom's Clair de Lune Gotta agree with alto92: '97 SCV There are a few more 'great' moments for me, but nothing sums up everything I love about drums corps more than: '92 BD's When a Man Loves a Woman I love it so much I made it the logoff music for windows (the buildup to the screaming trumpet trio to the end) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metamorphoses March hit to the end 1995 Cavies - Jupiter Hymn to the end 1995 BD - closer 1995 Madison - Malaga 1996 BD - beginning and ending hits 1996 Cadets - opener 1997 BD - opening build and hit 1997 Cadets - final minute 1997 Phantom - 2nd tune - build into a 4 count silence where there's a rifle toss and on the Cd that year you hear a woman scream right before the corps comes back in with this monstrous hit - awesome 1997 Madison - beginning of the closer 1998 Cadets - Canterbury Chorale and then final minute of the show 1998 SCV - "Hear Ye Hear Ye" 1998 BD - Opening Romeo & Juliet music with chimes 1998 Cavies - beginning of Machine (closer) 1999 SCV - Blue Shades 2000 Cadets - Closer 2000 SCV - Adagio 2001 Phantom - Festive Overture - from company front to the end 2001 Crossmen - Fire Dance 2002 Cadets - Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy 2002 Phantom - Closer 2003 BD - Opening of the show all the way to the "space chord section" 2003 Cadets - beginning of Malaguena 2003 Phantom - "Canon" reprise to the end 2004 SCV - Closer (specifically "Vanguard yell" to the end) 2005 Cadets - "New World/Dancer in the Dark Ballad" 2005 Phantom - Charleston hit section in American in Paris to the end (all guard has orange out now) 2005 Crown - end of opener 2006 Crown - opener through the first hit This is a lot - but seriously these are all the sections of shows that when I listen to them, I rewind them over and over because they are my favorite parts of the show. I have done that with every single one of these listed. And I saved 2 for my top favorites because I can listen to these and get emotionally wrapped up in listening to them and forget about everything else for just a while. 1996 Phantom - Closer to the end (too much emotion in this - when they build the chord in the arc formation with the 4 entrances (sops, mellos, baritones, contras) and that resolution hits...if I had been fortunate enough to be there for that performance live I would have said to myself, "they just won!" - That's where it hits me that they are going to win is right there at the resolution. 2006 Phantom - Resurrection to the end - SO emotional and so well written - the end of this show is just perfectly written in my opinion and loses no momentum whatsoever - it just builds and builds and I wish it could have just gone on forever. The mallet run sequence that leads into the brass hit is just stellar and transitions perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
