#90483 - 08/05/05 03:53 PM If you could be in any line.....
Anonymous User has negative Karma.	If you could be in any drumline over the past 25 plus years which would it be? Explain why. For me it would be 1990 Blue Devils. That line was men among boys. Combination of dudes that could really drum as well as an off the wall book. You know you're in a good line when guys from the pit can strap on a set of quads and play what the rest of the line. My second choice is a tie between 1992 SCV and 1980 Spirit of Atlanta. '92 SCV was an "all-star" drumline. As far as '80 Spirit goes just listen to a recording, it says it all plus they had 11 snares. Edited by RBassVK (08/05/05 04:48 PM)

SkillzOnSnare710 Registered: 04/25/03 Loc: MP, REPRESENT!!!!!	hm.... that's a toughie. '95 Cavies would definitely be awesome. And I would've loved to have marched SCV '89, not cuz the line was outstanding, or because the book was insane, but because seeing a video of them from that year at finals is what got me into DCI in the first place. It would be awesome to have played in that line, to me at least. _________________________ Formerly known as Skillzonsnare710 MPHS Marching Cougars Hit up my MySpace ~RIP Dimebag: 1966-2004~

Big_John Registered: 02/19/03 Loc: Kentucky	I would have to say '99 Cadets, so I could have pulled a Michael 'Fetus' Terry and march for 6+ years (as he is currently doing). Seeing the Cadets in 1999 was my first drum corps experience. Ever since, I have been a drum corps nut. I have listened further back by purchasing the Cadets 80's and 90's anthology CDs, and I have found that I really love their style. Something indescribable hits me when I hear the sound of their hornlines, or the drumlines playing during the ballad. The Cadets move me like no other, and I finally realized it this year. The lines of '99 and '00 just really made an impression on me. Other than that , my list is as follows for the past 25 years: SCV '80-81, Bridgemen '82, Cadets '83-87, BD '88, Cadets '89, BD '90, Cavaliers '91, SCV '92, Star '93, Cavaliers '94, Cadets '95, Phantom '96, Cadets '97-98, SCV '99, and Cadets '00-'05. I'm going to include Cadets '06 and '07 as well, as '07 is my age-out and I hope to be marching it in a maroon uniform _________________________ Big John Bullitt Central HS '99-03: Pit, Bass, Snare/SL Univ. of Kentucky '03-04: Cymbals, Bass Nine Southwind '04: Lead Vibes Since 2005: I've been pursuing a career as a conductor and an operatic baritone.

Ironman7 Registered: 02/22/04 Loc: Agawam MA	OK for me its hard. Star from 89-93. Cadets in 85(you go GarfCadet) or 91 with the huge tenor line in the begining. SCV in 78, 87, 91, 92. VK in 87-95. The top Contenders are: Any VK line. Especialy the 94 tenor line wow. Then Star in 89 or 91(91 not because they won mind you). Last SCV 92. Runners up are BD 88 and 90 27th Lancers from 78 or 80 91 or 92 Crossmen(and that year they had like 8 million man bass line) And a random choice here is Crown in 95. It must have been magical to make finals for the first time. _________________________ Semper Gumby: Always maintain a rigid state of flexibility. http://www.vater.com/

I think learning from him would have been a great experience. Dennis teaches the Rutgers University line... It's certainly an experience, it's great playing in a line of his. As for a line I wish I could have been in I have to say SCV 1992. They played Fiddler on the Roof that year and though the came in 7th, it was a really powerful show with some really awesome drum licks. Fiddler was a really horn and pit heavy show, but it still must have been awesome to play. In my opinion, it's the most dynamic show of all-time DCI.

Bernie_VKpit Registered: 03/12/04 Loc: Chicago, IL	Im pretty content with the drumlines I was in (VK 93 and 94) but if I could have marched in any line, I would say the Cadets of Bergen County in 1992. The show overall was an amazing show, but IMO one of the most underated shows and drumlines in DCI history. Everyone thinks of Cavies and their powerful drumline, but this Cadets line was incredible. A precursor to the amazing 93 drumline. My personal favorite was the bass section, which contained friends of Rob and mine: Saajad and Vince. Isn't that right Rob? I know Saajad was in the 92 bass line, but wasn't Vince as well? Or just 93? Anyways, 1992 Cadets of Bergen County. "To Tame the Perilous Skies".... amazing show and drum book

Anonymous User has negative Karma.	Bernie: Sajjad was in the '92-93 line. Vince only marched '93. In '92 Vince was marrching bottom for SCV. Speaking of SCV '92, that was indeed an awesome line. Back then it was an "all-star" drumline. They played crazy stuff and they always won the parking lot.

While they did not have the beefy, meaty runs of old, they certainly had the most "concert" style approach to writing and playing.

SkyDog Registered: 12/29/05	The more I think about it, the more I agree with RBassVK. Scary, huh? The 1990 Blue Devils book had to be a blast to play -- especially the drum feature -- and those guys threw down some notes. (That was my first year in drum corps and I played bass in the Blue Devil B Corps. I was lucky enough to hear them over and over and over and...) 1972 Kingsmen. Wouldn't it be cool to be the first DCI champion, marching in the same snare line as Float and Hardimon? 1986 Suncoast Sound bass line. It says something that people still talk about 'em 20 years later even though the corps doesn't exist anymore. 1980 Spirit of Atlanta. For that matter, pick just about any line Tom Float ever stood in front of. I think the only thing I disagree on is '92 SCV. Nothing against the guys in the line, but Fiddler on the Roof just didn't do anything for me. Personally, I'd rather have been in SCV in '91. I remember seeing them at the Concord Pavilion show before the season and thinking that they were gonna win drums that year. They were that good that early.

SamuraiX864 Registered: 08/26/04	I'm kind of tied between two lines for two different reasons. One is the 2004 Santa Clara Vanguard line because of how insanely clean they were and because the show itself was great. The other and my more favorite of the two is Santa Clara Vanguard again in 1989 just because that whole show was unreal. It was actually my first exposure to drum corps. Also, my family grew up listening to The Phantom of the Opera original cast recording because my mom loved it. _________________________ "Here the tragically beautiful, And the beautifully tragic, Drift through this night, In a last quest for magic."

SamuraiX864 Registered: 08/26/04	I've heard that show, too, but I haven't seen it yet. I just prefer the corps in 1989. The music sounded much better and much closer to how the musical sounded that year in my opinion. The line was awesome in 1988, but I'd prefer to be in a still great line but a much better corps. That's just me, though. _________________________ "Here the tragically beautiful, And the beautifully tragic, Drift through this night, In a last quest for magic."

That is one of my top favorite all time shows. Also the '00 Cadets with their extremely cool drum break, the tenors running around their drums, the horns playing each other's horns. Just an awesome show.

I have always been a big BD fan, and I saw this show in Tupelo...but when I saw Phantom's line this past year I thought they definatly had the best percussion section, both musically and chops wise.

pressclick Registered: 03/23/06	Def Cavies 90-92 especially 92. It was the total package. The uniforms, notes, and visuals all just blended together into something indescribable. And it was really loud. Later lines came close to being that cool, 2000 in particular, but obviously it will never be like it was and there weren’t anymore Jim Campbell notes after 93. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRNYh7Pjsvg Ahhhh, the good ol' days before we had trumpets, singers, a dozen perc features that all sound the same, and saxophones in I&E. <sigh and rocking chair creaking> _________________________ I once thought I was a ninja in Istanbul.

flamming_fudge Registered: 06/17/10 Loc: florida	I really like Phantom '96 The drum book (aside from being totally awesome by itself) really complimented the horn book. I just like the show in general. Plus they looked uber BA in the all-black uniforms. SCV '99 is another year I particularly enjoyed; the show concept, drill and book I found to be most interesting... _________________________ W A N K E L _ R O T A R Y _ E N G I N E

CANDRUMMER Registered: 07/30/10 Loc: Ontario CANADA	I would give my two hands to march in the US MARINE DBC Line from the late 60's aerly 70's when marching percussion was just evolving. They still played the "classic" style but were experimenting with the "new" sound ie:pitched rud bass drums and tri toms. They had the 8 great snare drummers back then in the early 70's McGRATH GAEKLE,studmuffin I think to name a few.

But if I could be on any snare line it would be under the best snare tech that history has ever seen...STEVE CHORAZY!!!!! his snare lines almost never failed always placed in top 3. Where is Steve Chorazy any way? some of these lines need some of his teaching and stop all of this ramming jibberish!!

SCV75 Registered: 04/08/10 Loc: New York Post's Karma Value: 25	I played in one of those lines and we were very clean by finals night. I would have to agree those lines you mentioned were also National Champions and all the Float lines that followed in the 1980`s were also very good. I think St. Joseph`s of Batavia NY were right at the top at 1968 VFW and may have beat the Kilties at that show in drums. Another thing, although the Kilties won VFW corps the Royal Airs had a penalty that put them in 4th, without it they won the show!

Sir Flamalot Registered: 07/01/10 Loc: ParkingLot, AlaBAMA, B-hamm Post's Karma Value: 33	Wow, you are old! Hey, were your drums carved out of trees and was your tap off "ugg, ugg, ugg, ugg"? Just kidding! Hey Hangman do you remember a corp that was in the VFW league by the name of the Dundee Scotts from Dundee Ill.? My dad was a post commander of a VFW back in those days '67-'75, and his post sponsored them. I remember going to watch them with my dad, also my dads post did a ton of parades with them around the Chicago area. I see you're from E. St Louis, I probably have seen you since you marched with the Knights. Anyway, all you guys were the inspiration for me to get into DCI, well, that and my dad pushing me into it (dads are so smart!). But I can remember going to the VFW's version of I&E with the Scott's, those guys had some killer chops back then! There was this one guy who did this thing where he back sticked a flammed six stroke something another, anyway it was cool for that time! Oh hey, SCV I watched you when you marched center snare in the Troopers and you guys really did splits back then? You were light years ahead of any one! Ha I have even seen Hardimon and Float march. Wow now I sound old!

SCV75 Registered: 04/08/10 Loc: New York Post's Karma Value: 22	Yes I was in both 1973 and 74 and did some of the writing for the line. Jones was a snare drummer in his youth and still liked to write parts and be with the drumline along with his great M&M programs, both years we won M&M at DCI and in 1973 tied SCV for High Drum Execution at finals. So 1973 was the cleaner of the two lines and also better overall corps. Yes the snare line did the alternating rolls in the first drum solo and that was all Jones idea. We were good friends he even got the Premier Pipe snare for me. He made up a story about some guy that ordered it and didn`t want it but I figured it out he also entered snare solos in his day and I think he did place 2nd one year.
