I remember this show happening in real time. A lot of people, including myself, didn’t understand it. However, once they hit their stride and began selling the heck out of it, we got it! One of the greatest and most creative programs to ever grace our eyes and ears.

George Z, I miss you. YOU'RE A NUT! (the most gifted nut I have ever known). Mark, you are a TREASURE and have made your own REMARKABLE legacy. You and George TOGETHER were UNSTOPPABLE. That's why Star got the big dollars out...

You can tell they are just fearless because they know the show so well. Amazing!

Wish this hi cam view was available for all finalists

My brass instructor marched this show. He was the soloist at 3:59 A mere 19 years old😢

How early was this show?

Damn, the high cam view really exposes just how beautiful the drill writing (and execution) was in this show.

It’s 2005; why are there only 17 people in the stadium? Is it some type of qualifying round?

I am hearing in little parts starting at 12:00 echoes of Star's Medea from 1993. Especially from 12:08 to 12:12

How many different ways you can form a box.

Remember how controversial that dang door was?! That's lightwork compared to DCI now. Haha.

I miss this stadium... Really... Some of my most favorite band memories were performed there...

lol this looks like a covid audience, no fans. (yes I know they are below). But it's fitting you post this now. I feel like we really have entered the twilight zone.

They sound kind of quiet, like the leads are turned down

Early July before Zone guard girl “moved” those drums to the backfield during the ballad at 6:57 One of the most beautiful poetic drum corps moments

do yall not have any quads?

I remember having the preseason on CD, is was crazy hearing it. The hornline was crazy talented and totally different sound from them than in 2004. And then seeing them rehearsal. I knew that this show was going to win. They rehearsed their butts off too. I think slowed the temp down too from preseason.

And the only prop is a door. One of the most creative and one of my favorite shows. Thanks for posting.

Incredible show. Incredible performance.

Wow! What a show! Thanks for posting this high-cam view from Giants stadium. The Cadets were seriously amazing that year. Every section was super strong as they would go on to win every caption and every sub-caption at Finals. That's never been done before or since. I'm not saying it's the best overall show from any era, but from a mastery standpoint it certainly is. Musically I liked it and it was not meant to be overly emotional but more thought provoking and cool. The ballad is awesome and does provide some emotional pull. The visual program is off the charts. To me, Cavaliers 2002 and Cadets 2005 are two of the finest visual programs you will ever see. As we get into the 2nd decade of the 2000s things do change with more body, staging, props, costumes and more theatrical design (even more than we saw in the 2000-2010 time frame). So I try not to compare shows from different eras. Not really an easy or fair thing to do.

Whoa, I haven’t seen this particular run before! Neat!

Not my favorite score from them, but some of those phrases are relentlessly long! That’s great writing.

Thank you so much for this cookie recipe. So yummy!!!!

9:19 is the best part

I remember.. Alice in Wonderland

That Vocal drum break is so crazy

Nice!!
