    I remember when I first got into DCI I would continuously listen to SCV 2018 and be amazed about the ballad, but especially the closer. SCV 2018 holds a very special place in my heart

    One classic hit from the pre-modern DCI days that I enjoy is the 2004 Madison Scouts closer. They play a loud hit, then reveal that half of them aren't even playing, then everyone else joins in for an even bigger hit.

    SCV '18 (Babylon) has been my favorite DCI show since the advent of more props and less marching. They use props (ramps/risers) but they never distract from the show, and the music that year, esp the ballad and closer, were amazing. Also loved their COVID year video in the park. Star '91 cross-to-cross...long live Zingali!

    @Lacideshae 8 місяців тому +13

    I feel like halftime shows are so underrated. If you’ve never been in band/colorguard/dance team you have no idea how hard it is to not only learn the entire choreography, little they teach you mark by mark “ok you’re here… you right here” and it takes forever, meanwhile the band is learning the music in class, dancers are learning the dance in class and color guard is learning their routine in class. But then when it comes time to put it all together it’s not easy! Playing an instrument/dancing/throwing a flag all while running around, lots of times doing so backwards, it’s a lot of work but it’s also a lot of fun. I miss those days!

    How can we talk about this without talking about crown 2008, and crown 2011. Those are classic.

    God forbid anyone post any video about DCI shows they enjoy unless they've seen every single show since 1972.

    I wonder if a person's favorite moments are based on when they marched (probably kinda obvious). Some of mine are 99 SVC; 13 Crown; 94 BD, Cadets Angels and Demons; 95 Cavaliers; also agree on that 18 SCV. I guess for me it's obvious I dig Philip Glass and more than moments I guess I dig shows.

    If you think these are the "greatest hits", then you have a lot more history to learn.

    Go listen to Spirit of Atlanta 1978/79/80, Cavaliers 1980/1992, Madison 1975, and Muchachos 1975. Those weren’t just hits; those were full out punches in the chest.
