Band_Freak Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I would vote for Regiment 1989 with the New World Symphony. What a show! What sounds!!! If you haven't heard it, take a listen and try to get that song out of your head 15 minutes later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Phantom Regiment 2006. They got shafted big time. It was better than '96 and '89 in my opinion. That mellophone line and Star's 91 mellophone line are tied in my book for most kickass mello section ever. If you weren't at finals, you don't understand just how magical that performance was. That was my 6th or 7th time to see them, and all the other shows didn't even come close to what they pulled out that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHS King Mello Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Phantom 06. Cavies were still better, but Phantom 06 is probably the best 2nd place show I've ever seen. -Conner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At SA they didn't seem too great, but up in Madison, man, they were in a class by themselves. That show killed! And that was the best drumline Phantom's EVER had! I dare say even better than those of the days of Marty Hurley and Sir Ticks-a-Not himself, Lee Beddis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claritone Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 PR '89 is the greatest show to ever grace the fields of drum corps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euro_euph06 Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 The best show never to win a gold medal is by far the Madison Scouts of 1995. darn!!! Just to name a few others: 1) BD 04 and 06 2) SCV 87, 88, and 98 3) Cadets 95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xukaniz Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I wouldnt definitely have to agree with Phantom Regiment '06. As said in previous posts, Cavaliers were the better corps but it is the best 2nd place show I have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesnareguy Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Phantom Regiment 1996. Awesome show. WAY better than 1996 BD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Cavaliers weren't the better corps on finals night. Although, that encore performance they did was WAY BETTER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band_Freak Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Phantom Regiment 1996. Awesome show. WAY better than 1996 BD. Hang on now, Phantom Regiment 96 TIED with BD 96.....this is a discussion on second place corps, not ties. BTW, NO MORE TIES! NO MORE TIES! And that show WAS way better than BD 96, but is still irrelevent to this discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewPCarr Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Cavies 05 was amazing. i should preface by saying this is in no way meant to be rude, but you might actually have just typed out one of the least uttered phrases in the world.

DesertWind Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Well, the thing is, what does one mean by "best"? If you're asking more of how pleasing/cool the show was... then Star '93 probably isn't the choice. Abstract is kind of an understatement. It's not something you can exactly groove to. It was clean though. Very. Clean. Being 0.1 behind Cadets doesn't mean much. That's like a left hand diddle in the battery. And if I'm not mistaken, the mellophone line got a 100 at I&E that year.

If you're asking more of how pleasing/cool the show was... then Star '93 probably isn't the choice. i feel that "best" is left open to the individuals' interpretation. i also don't see how "pleasing" and "cool" are any more narrowed down. both seem VERY broad and open to interpretation as well. either way, i have trouble understanding how star 93 of any show could not be labeled "cool". along those lines, cleanliness and execution are extremely "pleasing" to me, and i'll go so far as to assume it's probably pleasing to most people. i guess it's all entirely subjective. and the aforementioned "feeling of the groove" is mutual skippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And your absolutely right about the mellophones too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
