My opinion: I haven't watched 03 East Coast Jazz in a while, so I'll ignore that for now. 2000 Glassmen has much more advanced drill design and a much more fleshed out front ensemble book, but something about their overall musical effect feels...off! I can't put my finger on why, but I like 1985 Spirit's and 1982 Cadets' arrangements a lot more, in spite of their dated front ensembles and drill designs.
I like this show!
Who did Concerto in F better:
2003 East Coast Jazz
These fine folks
1985 Spirit of Atlanta
1982 Cadets
