I thought that SCV should have won. Or rather, I should say, SCV was my favourite performance from that year's Finals.

You're absolutely right about this. Great show!

Well, how interesting a thread this is. A few thoughts, if you please...

First, this is an excellent thread to expose the maturity of the people here. It's clear that I'm among experienced friends. In fact, for several years I've felt very old and, well, disconnected, from the activity. Maybe it's that I have two young kids now, but I've really felt the activity was growing way faster than I was willing to ride along. But, passion spoke and I was willing to let it pull me into the new world.

Point: It's refreshing to find a group of old guys who's favorite shows go back longer than 10 or 15 years. Folks who I might relate to.

That said, I really haven't categorized my favorites by year. Mine's more of styles, message, and the music.

Phantom's 1812 still raises chills. I threw toilet paper from the top deck.

SCV Phantom drew my family to NY to see the play - three times.

GC/CBG/CSBYEA - so many there's not room. Copeland. 2000 drum book. Bernstein. Cutting edge drill, Mr. Z.

Madison - why I need a hearing aid today. But STOP with the Bolero thing! Too bad, but maybe necessary this year. Marched one year there in the '70s, then learned to fly.

Suncoast Sound - A Florida Suite. Chills with that hornline.

Cavies - The Planets

Star - A Patriotic Celebration. Perfectly timed for emotion. Beautiful performance and nice surprise.

SCV - The final chord from the stadium tunnel in Kansas City. Took my breath away.

BD - My fav only because my wife goes to butter when she hears "When a man loves a woman."

For reference, this is the first finals since 1973 that I've missed. Just too far and two kids... Maybe it's me a'changin'. But I don't think so.

I could bore more, and maybe will...

Finally, a question. Where do I get those cool pics you folks post here. Do you snip them from captures? Is there a database I'm missing? Thanks for the help.

Been a lurker a lot of years. If this is the old guy's thread maybe I'll ask to stay.
