John Bogenschutz Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Who are some of the best corps to never make finals? I'm not looking for a specific year (like Crossmen 79 or something like that) but corps in general that have never made finals. List your corps. I'd like to know! Thanks! Quote
TRacer Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 The Academy (they will soon, though!), Valley Fever back in the day, any North Star corps after 1980, 2-7 after 1984, Defenders, Avant Garde, Geneseo Knights were up there...you know, mostly DEAD and GONE corps. 1 Quote

BanditKir Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I think Mandarins deserve a mention. They've had some terrifically designed shows over the years. I still listen to their 2005 show all the time and their percussion feature this past year was one of my favorite moments. Quote
frazib Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Southwind 2000 -- they year they played the ballad from Legends of the Fall, which was beautiful 6 Quote
