If you could be in any line.....

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.

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.

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

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.

Almost any of the Blue Devils lines of the 80's. I always thought they had really fun and challenging books. Also, Cadets 89, especially that bass line.

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

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.

Hulka, I'll give you the '86 devils line, that was a bad line. What are your thoughts on Garfield '86? The more I hear that show the more I love the line.

'86 would be a good DVD to have. Lots of awesome shows. Was probably the last good Spirit of Atlanta show. Also check out '86 Cavies. great show and inovative with the drill at the time.

'86 was the first year I went to DCI Finals so I'll always have a soft spot for that year.

Heck yeah. That was the year they had that crazy bass run-tacet section in the middle of the show right? That's a drumline I would have loved to have been in. That corps is sorely missed...

I would choose the 1993 Star of Indiana percussion section. It was the best writing and best execution I have ever heard.

Star 1993. Interesting
If he means the pit when referring to the Star 1993 percussion "section", then I could agree Rob. While they did not have the beefy, meaty runs of old, they certainly had the most "concert" style approach to writing and playing.

I would say any line that was taught by Fred Sanford. When I was a kid and just starting out in this world of drum corps. I went to a Yamaha clininc in Madison and he was running it. That weekend changed my life forever. If I only had a third of his knowledge and experince I would be a better instructor.

Glassmen '01 - Sweet, sweet, sweet book, insanely clean beats, and taught by McNutt, who is the MAN.
Blue Knights '95 - Some very tasty stuff.
Star '93 - I mean, seriously, come on... this doesn't even need to be explained.
I must admit, last year, both Madison and Phantom were laying down some pretty great stuff battery-wise, too.

I would have to say forget about DCI on this one and I would choose to march with one of those real throwback fife and drum bands. They had THE cleanest rudiments I ever heard in my life! They were the pioneers of all of it so If I could march with ANY line I would choose one of those.

As for me: Star '91 Mellophone line. Running in circles while playing lightning fast runs near perfectly clean . . . excuse while I go wash up.

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.

I agree. Great guys on the '92 line, but I did not like that show at all.
