@@abehm404 Matt Bowers. Quad drummer with sunglasses. Macular degeneration. Is legally blind, had at the time of this performance about 1% the same level of vision that we have. A DCI and WGI World Class Champion, marched both Cadets and Blue Devils (three years combined). A legend.
As much as I love this show, and seeing it live, I can say with 100% confidence that you’re wrong any this slow bring the greatest of all time. Also, having a legally blind marcher has no effect on how good the show is
My vis director told me to look up this show cause like the one quad, I have a visual impairment that requires glasses on field. Nice to see I'm not the only one
There is no reason you can provide me to convince me or anyone else that this is not the greatest WGI show ever assembled. Not only was it perfect, but one of the players was literally blind.. Also, the stick toss will go down as the coldest thing ever done on a WGI stage haha
+Zane Stackhouse My favourite will probably always be RCC '07. This is the close second. Can't pick a specific third-MCM '04 or some Aimaichi show, I suppose.
im not sure if there is any other show in DCI or WGI that is as unanimously determined as being the best show of all time. there are shows that are always in the convo, but X'09 is probably is easiest GOAT.
The thing I love about this show is that it speaks completely for itself. No stupid samples or loads of synthesizer crap(just enough). Just beautiful, inspiring music and movements.
I don't think this is the right energy tbh. A show can be just as good with the bits and bobs as it can with the basics. In the end, music is a form of entertainment and expression. If what you want to express only requires battery and front, that's great! If what you want to express needs a little extra, that's great too! Every instrument exists for a reason, and elicits a different feeling -- it makes sense that one show might want to use different instrumentation than another. I personally think Touch is the greatest marching show of all time not because it "speaks for itself", but rather that it's just incredibly entertaining and extremely expressive. It was crafted perfectly, using the tools it needed to use to get the job done. That's all there is to it.
I remember thinking this show was overrated and worse thang "Gone" when I saw it live, but it's since grown to be in my top 5 (others being RCC '05 & '07 and MCM '04) and definitely better than Gone.
I'm confused!! was the stick toss at 2:26 accidental? like did he try and do something and it flew out of his hand-only to be caught by his friend the improvisation master? it just looks like the snare is checking his stick bag for something to play with and then he thinks "oh hey thanks dude" when he gets the stick thrown to him
