carolina crown has so many gas openings, i would've had 2015 on there aswell

Great stuff indeed! But go back further in time. See “another 6 breathtaking dci”. Put 2-3 of them in there. Then re-rank.

The star of Indiana cross to cross is something I have only heard of and understood they installed it just before this performance. That drill in 1991 is truly a benchmark.

What about scv 2018

Love love love love love this

PR and Bloo both have fantastic endings. The "Vanguard!!!" yell is pretty bad ass too.

Who's here after phantoms 24 closer

The Cadets, 2000, also had one of the best closers ive ever seen both musically and visually.

BK 2015 - it was fun to watch those members improve every time they were on the field! I LOVED this show!

I looked forward to the competition each uear❤

5:50 That's Carolina Crown 2011, and the song is Bohemian Rhapsody. Show is called Rach Star

"Fun" fact....while the rest of the PR clip IS from finals, the image of Juliet stabbing at her throat of from prelims. At finals she actually "stabbed" herself....which the staff did NOT want her to do -- but she did it anyway (it was her age-out run....what were they gonna do, kick her out?) The staff had DCI put in the prelims "stab" instead....spiteful of them. Her act was more in keeping with the original story.

2015 BK???? On an all-time best list????

I guess opinions vary. None of these would have been in my top 3

Uh, 89 SCV?

I just wish BK would figure out they're in the top 12 and should play loud once in awhile.

Way too subjective and too many eras to pick a top 3 best anything. Try an 80s, 90s, 2000, etc And choose a topic of why they are in the top 3 according to you. Like 80s best ending. Appalachian Spring Garfield Cadets. Why? The modern peel out company front, utilization of simple character like ballet, the resolution coupled with the great male ballet dancer, the company retreat and back field exit. Pushing the times.

Star of Indiana closer has the best drill I’ve seen

closures on both DCI and highschool level marching bands are always amazing imo. and honestly, each time it’s like a final competition or football game, it’s also a seniors final time marching. idk. i love closures

Santa Clara

Where's 1988 Madison?

I have to say I think the 2014 Bluecoats and 2015 Crown closers were better to me personally

If only this was released this year cause troopers definitely deserves this

I think this list is debatable

Only one I felt was deserving of being on this list was that last one

Phantom's closer is proof positive that you do not need a million notes a measure or running around the field at 60 MPH to provide an effective, beautiful and ENTERTAINING program. Bravo!

Never thought I could cry from a dci closer without any context

2011 Regiment makes it into everyone’s top 3

I literally cried on the PR ending. So moved and awed!

Gotta be honest, kinda hurt Feliniesque isn’t in here

Star Should Had Stayed a corps !

Wow. Just Wow

Bd 2017 for sure deserves to be in this or at least top five, but yaaaaay scv 2018 was in this!

Thirty years ago and Star still feels innovative

Now do classic DCI push endings 1975-1990

I think I will always love PR…💕

You forgot Cadets from 2011

I have yet to see/hear a DCI show where the oh-so-artistic-and-clever prerecorded sound clips added anything at all to the show. To me, it's like the audio version of seeing a great painting with cutout picture from a magazine pasted in the corner. Completely incongruous and unnecessary.

Best DCI Closers. #1: Star of Indiana 1991. “Wow we’re off to a great start”. #2-3: “Who?” There are entire decades of Vanguard, Cadets, Blue Devils, Cavaliers closers, world championship winning closers, game changing moments, ground breaking moments, moments we never thought would happen or come….. but BK 2015 and Phantom 2011 tho

Solid list…but where is 2008 Phantom?!

I knew I was going to like this video when the Blue Knights were the thumbnail. Great picks!

My friend marched Contra in that Star of Indiana show, AMAZING all these THIRTY ONE years later, so proud Moe

Before i watch this, if 2008 PR isnt on here i'm calling the police.

What I love about these videos are that people take time to present their passion. And while I don't think these three are the best DCI closers of all time, I saw things I have never seen before. What a great activity we are a part of ... and why great happiness it gives us in the unexpected. I mean, I have judged bands across America and judged multiple WGI champions an and finalists, but this is why I don't want to judge DCI ... I just want to love what it is.

Closers kill me because at some point in the show - whether it's high school MB or drum corps - the mood changes and you make the turn into the final song. And at the Championships, hopefully you realize it's going to be the last time you play it. And if you're aging out, it's the end of a phase of your life. And you will never march again. Ever. So one message of a closer is: enjoy it HARD while you've got it.

Yeah, Phantom’s ending is one of the goose bumpiest ever. Big fat chords, no excessive syncopation, runs, lip slurs....so exciting. Of course the triple kick halts are great!

Holy damn Phantom… the ending was insane… didn’t want it to end

as a drummer, that bk 2015 guard moment with the huge colorful flags was probably the first time i’ve audibly said “WOW” at a colorguard thing

Watching the Blue Knights ballad brought tears to my eyes because it brings me back to my freshman oh high school when my band marched Fly To Paradise, such a beautiful piece and it’ll forever have a special place in my heart

Appreciate the vid, but BK belongs nowhere near this, Spartacus belongs...and Harmonic Journey 03, NOT the bs 21 remake.
