TX Suh-nare Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Ow! There's one gut shot to the Scouts! For all you Scout lovers, listen to the 1997 show (watch it if you can!) I'm not one to like them, but that show is COOL! Quote
TX Suh-nare Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Nah, man, Pirates of Lake Mendota! Blue Devils have a K/A show in 1997, too. That's one of the few BD shows I would compose for my band when I grow up. Quote
Kelly11 Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Santa Clara Vanguard...my favorite year for them was 89'...Phantom of the Opera...mmmmm, it was good stuff. Quote
arundo Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 '89 was an awesome year.. I have to say though that Cavies and SCV are my favorite because theres shows never let me down. They may rarely have a some what not top notch performance once in a blue moon, but there shows in general are always phenomenal. Quote
Tnilli Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 SCV, Phantom, and Madison. They are all amazing...and being a trumpet player...you always gotta love madison ;-) . Quote

Brian Ngo Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Even though they are having a rough season, I'm going to have to say SCV Quote

maverick Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 I think that SCV is doing so bad cause of Key Poulan. He isn't the easiest man to work with. He designed the 05-06 show for my High School and he is a pain in the...rear. Quote

It's the large amount of rookies, the turnover in staff during the offseason, and the mediocre visual package that is contributing to their struggle. Poulan is not the problem. Quote

If memory serves correctly, I think Poulan arranged the music for Cedar Park last year... and they got second in State at UIL. Quote

In my opinion, Key wrote some KILLER music this year. Quote
maverick Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 I was just kidding about him. He's a good friend of mine from when I was in Esperanza. He wrote Reflections for us that year. Key wrote three of McNeils last four shows. If any of you meet him though, be careful of his ego, and don't talk to him about any of the shows he has done that have gone to crap. Quote
Skippy Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Well that's good, I thought you were just ignorant. Quote
Keyboard_Countessa Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 I'm one of those "I <3 CAVIES!!" people. I blame my former pit instructor/lessons teacher. He showed me this clip from the 2001 world finals, and has a close-up on the pit and all their mallets were playing at the exact same height!! When I saw that, I went instantly from to . SCV is definately one of my favorites. I consider playing w/ them my ultimate "Impossible Dream". And as of this year, Madison Scouts is on my favorites list. Quote
bariphonium Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Just one favorite? I don't know... I like Madison... then there's the Cavies... and you can't go wrong with SCV or Phantom.... Jeez, can I just say the "Big 6" in general? Quote
bariphonium Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Blue Devils, Madison, Phantom, SCV (though they weren't as big this year), Cavies, and Cadets. I know there are a few that could probably be put up with them, and that many would probably swap out some of the above for some other corps, but these, to me, stand out the most, year in and out. Just my opinion, nothing more. Quote
