I think it is highly unlikely that we will see full corps aussies in the show, but I would not be totally surprised if they wore them for finals retreat. IMO, the aussie doesn't look too bad on the drum major as they enter the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietcity Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 As much as I would love to see it, wearing aussies for the last shows of the year is a terrible idea. Doing so would affect the marching members' carriage, head placement and vision, and they would not have time to adjust to the changes. This would lead to deleterious impact on intervals and lines of sight. Maybe FloMarching can add a virtual reality feature that digitally adds aussies. How about it, Flo? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that the Alumni Corps will be wearing the Aussies Friday night.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really miss that tradition of the other corps playing in tribute to the winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussies. 30 years later and I'm still as heartbroken today as I was on that night over this loss. I can't imagine what it was like for their members. I remember sitting in the stands fighting back tears, and they came again tonight watching this :( Of all my years marching and spectating, this was by far the most disappointing night of my drum corps experience. I've gotten over so many things in my life, but I don't think I will ever be able to get over this. (and, I loved Garfield's show that year too. Both are in my top 5). '87 SCV still remains my all time favorite show. Edited August 2, 2017 by henry7184 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'87 SCV still remains my all time favorite show. I was there as well. Although SCV is my favorite corps I was traveling with some Cadets staff that evening so I was kinda forced to be part of the Cadet party. When I found out the difference was a perfect percussion score, as a drummer I found this unbelievable. IIRC, the Cadets too were surprised they won.
