Bluecoats | The BLUECOATS (98.238)
"This wasn't just a Beatles show. They made it very clear... this was meant to be a show that used the aesthetic, and look, and music, and feel of The Beatles to also celebrate the innovative design style and spirit that the Bluecoats have. I think a lot of us would say this was one of the most entertaining shows we have ever seen." - Jeff Griffith

Santa Clara Vanguard | Vox Eversio (96.600)
"'Babylon' was finding your voice, and 'Vox Eversio' was using it... I think it's easy from a fan perspective to look at 'Vox Eversio' and be like, 'It's not Babylon.' And granted, it's not, because 'Babylon won a championship. But I really feel like we're going to look back in five years and see 'Vox Eversio' as very similar to, and very extending of what 'Babylon' brought to both Vanguard and DCI." - Jeff Griffith

Carolina Crown | Beneath the Surface (96.563)
"Between that unique, piercing opener, one of the most beautiful ballads I've ever heard, and that 7/8 driving closer... I'm of the opinion that, musically-speaking, in terms of cohesiveness, listenability and entertainment value, this is Carolina Crown's best show of the decade." - Jeff Griffith

The Cavaliers | The Wrong Side of the Tracks (95.400)
"There was no feminine side to this show. It was all just aggressive. Ironically, the whole idea of this show was about redemption... It was very introspective, but the music was brutal, to the Nth degree. And the more brutal it was, this magnificent third-place horn line just captivated us." - Mike Boo

Boston Crusaders | Goliath (94.488)
"It's completely understandable to see this repertoire and think, 'That shouldn't make sense.' But if anything, I think seeing 'Goliath' and shows like it that carry that kind of diversity in musical selection, if anything, it tells us, 'This should work. Do it more.'" - Jeff Griffith

Blue Knights | ...I Remember Everything (92.050)
"This show was really about that drum corps is a home for a lot of kids. You really have to listen very closely to process that. In the end of the show, the narrations talk about how they've finally reached that place where they want to be, and the place is home. And that home is the Blue Knights." - Mike Boo

Blue Stars | Call of the Wild (91.225)
"They come out with these costumes that you look at preseason, and you think, 'Huh?' But you have to see it in person, and then it all makes sense. And it gives them this uniqueness, that is unique not only to other corps, but to each of productions. It's just a wonderful thing to see this corps developing their own identity in such a way." - Mike Boo

The Cadets | Behold (89.838)
"I am always amazed by how feather-light the battery sounds... They can be at the back of the field, playing 200 beats per minute sideways, playing the lightest, tastiest riffs on snare, and somehow you hear that clear as a bell in the audio offerings from DCI." - Dan Potter

Mandarins | subTerra (89.300)
"This was an incredibly aggressive show... This was not Sesame Street stuff. The director, J.W. Koester told me, 'We've awakened the dragon... The corps has always had championship dreams but when we made the jump to World Class it took us a while to figure it out. We're hungry again, we have a newfound sense of confidence, and the members are over the pressure of being in Finals.'" - Mik Boo

Phantom Regiment | I am Joan (87.238)
"I thought it was a very nice show. It was very 'Regiment-y' to me. There's certain things we expect Regiment to do, and they had references, the very militaristic look... and of course bringing back 'Fire of Eternal Glory.'" - Mike Boo

Pacific Crest | Everglow (85.350)
"Forget crazy, over-your-head, conceptual design and just have a very fun, electric, engaging show that the members bought into, the fans enjoyed, and when you're trying to make a rise, I feel like that's one good way to do it; take that risk, be super fun, and create a show that never gets old for anybody. And you could see it at the end of the season; they never stopped getting better and rising up the rankings." - Jeff Griffith

The Academy | The Bridge Between
"2019, both in temrs of the way the show was designed big-picture and the way it's designed as kind of a thread was meant to be the bridge from the old Academy, if you will... to a new Academy. This show was not only meant to be visually about bridges, conceptually about the idea of what a bridge is, but it was also their way of bridging mid-2010s Academy to what they want to be, and you see that kind of happen throughout this show." - Jeff Griffith

Madison Scouts | Majestic
"This show has a different impression on my mind, knowing that it was the closing of one chapter, than it did the first half of the season, before I knew that next year's Madison Scouts were going to look a little bit different than the Madison Scouts we've seen since 1938." - Mike Boo

Genesis | From the Ground Up
"The idea was meant to conceptually celebrate their 10th anniversary. So, 'From the Ground Up,' and the imagery of the city being built of the nature scene... They wanted to make it an analogy for what the corps does every year... That was fascinating to me." - Jeff Griffith

Seattle Cascades | Off the Grid
"Seattle Cascades are one of the corps that I never figure out why they don't place any higher than they do. They have shows that are always so embraceable. They invite us in, there's nothing off-putting about what they do. And if I was bringing someone in who had never experience drum corps before, they'd be the perfect corps to start with." - Mike Boo
