I'm a musical actor and love Sondheim (my senior thesis was Marry Me A Little), and the show isn't without charm, but it's so far from what people associated 27 with in almost every way that I found it hard to reconcile the show itself with who was performing it. Plus, the same visual problems that had plagued the corps for five years were still there.

I think that was 82.

Seeing those again is great muscle-memory comfort food. But bear in mind that it was always the DCI house organ, and DCI did what it did to please DCI.

Apparently, anything that was saved to photobucket is paywalled now, which is some ########. take them all to fb.

How about not using stupid "Show titles" that have no meaning in a linear sense and just playing a show that kicks everyone's ###?

Look how spread out around the country they are. I've never worked at a non-profit or served on a board, but is that common? That sounds like an invitation to the left hand not knowing what the right is doing, all jokes aside.

I'd vote for my corps, but no. Illiana Lancers, every year. They were tiny and analog but they just let it fly and teed it high. Their energy and support for each other was great every single time.

So what happened in 1975? Just kidding. I always like to ask anyway.

Yes, we got shafted in 1983. That was my rookie season so I can't speak for what happened in 82, but the rumor finger has always pointed to wanting to personally punish some staffers. 83 was not quite the same, but there were politics going on with other corps, and we were left out because we were expendable. We hadn't been a finalist so it wasn't too jaw-dropping when we didn't make it. That said, and even though we didn't improve as much as we should have on 2nd tour, I will say to my dying day that we should have finished 9th at least. Bcs some of the corps that made it in that year were absolutely terrible.

Phantom's Stravinsky medley in 1978, Jeremiah from Garlfield in 1985, and T.O. from BD in 1982.

Swampscott (North Stah), Revere (Lancahs), and Boston (BAC) are all within about 12 miles of each other, and Malden, home of the Diplomats, is in there as well.

Boston 1983. Knights 1985.

I've been saying for a wile now that this is all a push for BOA and WGI to take DCI and morph it into BOA Summer Division or somethng stupid like that. Good for Bando$ and their parent$, I guess, and the instructors and arrangers who get phat paid off those bandos.

I have them on Beta and dubbed to VHS. My dad bought them for me on Beta as a birthday present since that was my rookie season. I have all 25, from Garfield to Pride of Cincinnati. Whether I can FIND them is another story.

Is that the Orange Bowl?
