David Hill Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I like spending my off season in retrospect, rather than in speculation, so I watched, re-lived, parsed, and ranked this decade's and the new century's drum corps shows. The result: a nine-part series over at my blog Field&Floor. Here's the index for the entire look at "The evolution will be competitive." Hope you enjoy reading my take -- and disagreeing with it -- as much as I enjoyed the research and writing Quote

Hope you enjoy reading my take -- and disagreeing with it -- as much as I enjoyed the research and writing I am surprised that Rimsky-Korsakov was left off your list ( Santa Clara 2004 ) ( drill by Myron Rosander and a Gino hornline at it's best! ) IMHO that was as good program translation as 2008 Phantom Regiment , and my all time fav - 2000 The Cadets Edited November 11, 2009 by fecontra Quote
kickhaltsforlife Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Surprised you put others on there ahead of others... but I see the points you were making and why you chose the shows you did. GREAT READ. Whenever anyone writes about Phantom '08 I still get the chills... all I can think about is my experience as a member of that audience during finals night. What a performance. Quote
bawker Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 David, it's always a pleasure to read your take on things . . .and this deserves more attention. Moving to World Class forums for more eyes and discussion, and thanks to DCP member "glory" for the heads up! Quote
jamesjones0611 Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 How is Crown 2007 not on there? and 2006 IS. Quote
Musical_Spinner Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Glad this is opinion, I definitely disagree with a lot. Quote
madalumni Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 For Madison,I would have put 03 or 05 ahead of 08. Quote
Lance Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Haha. Phantom's Gershwin show over Cadets 05. Quote
AzEuph Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Glad this is opinion, I definitely disagree with a lot. I agree. Just off the top of my head some clear favorites that are missing would be: SCV 04, 00, 05 BD 04 Cavies 03, 04, 06 Bluecoats 05 Madison 05! 03 PR 03, 06!!! Personally there are several shows I'd place higher than BD 09, BD 07, PR 08. Quote
