I completely loved the Bridgemen in '81 and '82. In '82 their souvy wagon was selling the percussion judge's tick sheet from a show the prior year, where they had only one tick in the entire program (remember ticks)!

Enormous fan of 1980s SCV- the real Appalachian Spring, and a few bottle dances thrown in!

Madison Scouts whenever they do Slaughter.

Any film of the 60s and 70s Troopers making those perfect company fronts and starbursts (biased here)

Valley Fever from the 80s (just fun)

The astounding (and overaged and controversial) Muchachos of the 70s

Anything ever done by 27

Does marching prelims 72 in Whitewater and prelims in 75 in Philly count ?

Oh it counts......!
Were you in Muchachos?, Madison?, 27?, Troopers?

BD 94-97.. but if I had to pick only one.. BD 95.

Yeah, BD 95 was a tough leave off my list. Biggest screw-job in DCI history. They were by far the best corps that year. I have no idea what the judges were looking at Championships week.

Disney.

I'll try to keep it to five...

1. Cadets 2005. The Zone just blows my mind, that's about all I can say.
2. Star 1993. Don't even know what to say about it...
3. Phantom 1996. Some of my favorite music anyone has ever done.
4. Bluecoats 2010.
5. Star 1991.
