Fran Haring Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 what year was the largest attended? I believe the biggest turnout in DCA history was 26 corps, in 2005. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Sun Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Would have been nice if So.Cal. Dream ,Vililantes and Sun Devils plus Gulf Coast Sound that would bring the total up to 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Haring Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 correct old velvet voiced one That prelims show in '05 was one very long day.... including the unfortunate situation of Lothar's passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 That prelims show in '05 was one very long day.... including the unfortunate situation of Lothar's passing. Bucs are the only corps in DCA history to start before midnight and end after it. very long day, not counting the unfortunate Lothar issue. I dream of a 30 corps slate. maybe one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 One thing I remember about that day/night in 2005 was the performance of the Chicago Royal Airs reunion/alumni corps at the end of that very long day. After all the stuff that had gone on that day... for whatever reason the Royal Airs performance was just what was needed, at least for me.... a fun "down memory lane" show, performed well, a chance to relax and just enjoy the show.

Royal Airs was fun that year, but to me, the best Royal Airs alumni performance was Madison in 02....when Brandt said "on the starting line" the crowd went nuts, and when they fired the starters pistol, the place became unglued. Don't let it be said kids today don't respect the past. that place was packed with kids cheering them on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
