CT would have had to cut 37 members to reach the Maximum allowed in Class ‘A’ 

If I counted on my fingers correctly, they're over 100 performers. WOW. Sounds like a lot of solid recruiting's been done from several directions.

23 again in 06

It was consistently in the 20s for several years from 2005 on.

I wonder if that 1987 show has the record for widest range of scores at a DCA prelims. Lowest-scoring corps had something like a 33.... highest-scoring was just short of 95.

Boy, did it.  LOL

The pre-Internet days, of course... so there were all sorts of rumors about Finals being held Monday morning, maybe being moved to another location, etc. ... but as I was leaving the stadium after Prelims, one of the folks from the Allentown crew told me,  "No Finals.... exhibition on the track tomorrow... the field is unusable...and no other site for Finals." Then Mickey confirmed what I had been told. 

So... getting the definitive verdict, I took that as my cue to go have several adult beverages with dinner. :innocent: But all night, I kept hearing the rumors. "Yeah... Finals are set for (wherever and whenever)."  :tongue:

DCA was like the Wild West back then.  LOL. Rumors flying all summer, and every championship weekend, about all sorts of things.

You'd hear during the summer, "Such-and-such corps is coming in for championships from (the Midwest, Canada, wherever)." And then they wouldn't show up, or didn't exist in the first place.  :tongue:

And then there were a few times.... I swear, I had never heard of a particular corps until they showed up for the "new entries" position draw, the day before championships.  "OK... whoever they are, they're in!!!"  LOL

It was very much a "run whatcha brung" era from about 8th place down.
