QuadraticBeats Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 The last six placements of Star of Indiana1993 - 2nd 1992 - 3rd 1991 - 1st 1990 - 3rd I was thinking more along those years. Only recently? Have you listened to past Blue Devils shows, haha. I forgot to mention that I was comparing their older shows to the new ones. I really do hope they refrain from the trumpet-solo obsessed style of show that they have seemed to be obsessed with the last 4-5 seasons. It's awesome, but throwing the trumpet solos in at periodic intervals gets rather repetitive... and besides, the overwhelming focus makes it very hard for the excellence of the other sections to be proven. Ensemble... the Cavvies have proven how important that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrontierDirector Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Well Santa Clara Vanguard is the reason I did Drum Corps in the first place, so they are my favorite. Carolina Crown is #2 because that's where I marched Blue Stars are #3 because that's where I first taught. Now if we talked about DCA corps, think that would be obvious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHS King Mello Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 when Crown came to my school to do all days (they were at my school for a month... no joke. it was awesome) I just loved to sit down and listen to the music. When people said that was probably one of the best Crown hornlines to date, they weren't kidding... it was definetely the loudest (that I've been exposed to) -C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrontierVP Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 As far as DCI corps are concerned: it's SCV full tilt. They will always be my sentimental favorite. No one but no one has done pageantry like SCV. 1987 defined SCV for me, followed closely by '89, which I saw live. Ahh, the days of Gale Royer. A member of the SCV 1989 brassline is on Frontier visual staff now. We are learning so much from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHS King Mello Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I'd take 88 SCV over the 89 version of Phantom of the Opera, any day. and if you have to tell me to pick a show to define SCV... I'd pick 89 or 91. 98: Aaron Copland - The Modernist... should have won... simply put. 91: Miss Saigon... well I just love the music, and SCV did it with such passion... I would have put them in 3rd, behind Star (duh) and Cavies (91 is my favorite Cavies show ever) -C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
