After reading about the crowd reaction when BD beat Crown and the fact that some folks were upset about the booing, I never noticed how many boos there were in this old piece. If you go to around the 8 minute mark of this 1975 score announcements and listen to the crowd reaction to the scores, there were quite a few boos, mosty when an east coast corps didn't place higher.

The booing was because the '75 27th Lancers were a GE powerhouse, with "perfect" 10's in both GE M & M and GE Brass that night. The crowd simply wanted a MUCH higher score for them.

A third place corps everywhere but percussion. I think people find it easier to self-judge marching and brass than drums, so they have trouble figuring out a 3rd in M&M, a 4th in brass, and 9th in drums.

I gotta be honest here... I thought the GE judges kinda boxed themselves in that night, with those perfect scores with several corps to go.

They had no choice but to hand out more, to Madison and SCV.

When you give a perfect score to a team that's not the last team and you have not left room for anyone coming on after them, you're playing with more than just fire, Fran. You're playing with hand grenades with the pins out and open canisters of radioactive waste as a judge in what you imply at that point of the night. And... folks will talk about for decades to come for that very reason... like this thread.
