dating yourself back? hardly. That entire show personified what scv is all about...and Should be recognized no matter what year it currently is.

SCV 99 'The Canyon' is just sick.
BD 1999 The Opener is the best ever. Probably most notes ever heard in a show as well.
Star 93 The Whole Show.
BD 97 The Snare solo in 'A Night in Tunisia' has the most notes played in BD.
Cadets 94 The Quad Line
BD 95 'Caribe' Tenor feature
I agree with all but the BD 1999 one. It's a good opener, and was the strength of that show, but I don't consider it one of the best openers of all-time.

I only have a few minutes to type this up, and I have more of them but this is the one that sticks in my mind for the most part.

2000- SCV The Rifle Solo during Adagio for Strings. The rifle soloist was bawling his eyes out and it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen on the field.

For me...It was watching 87 SCV hit the Great Gate of Kiev push at Camp Randall Stadium. POWER, redefined in my mind.
For me, the ENTIRE 87 SCV show was incredible. Sitting in the stands and watching Russian Christmas that night was UNBELIEVABLE!! Probably one of the best drum corps moments ever. And I agree with you, the Great Gate push was pretty awesome, but for some reason, the 86 hornline sounded more balanced to me during that same push.

Also, PR's closing 45 seconds of their show last year was UNREAL!!! LOVED IT!!

And VK's 92 "fat lady vs. the shark" extravaganza was UNBELIEVEABLE!! I was there in 1992, the stadium in Madison went absolutely haywire! That was a funny but powerful moment...

There's probably a million more...

I just recently downloaded the Cadets' 2000 show. WOW! Unbelieveable performance, especially the last 4 minutes of it, starting with the percussion show-off stuff. Incredible.
