   Someone other than James Logan winning Scholastic World at WGI.
   [Of course, Logan wasn't there, but still, after 347 years of winning, it was nice that someone else got to take home a gold medal for a change.]
   Phantom Regiment winning DCI based on their music scores.

    The Marching Southerners from JSU's From Russia with Love show- specifically, the drum feature where the cymbal players had to jump up above the rest of the drum line. Lost their plumes almost every time, but it was worth it.
