Awkward! lol The prelims in 1979 was controversial in the first place. Without penalties Troopers and Crossmen tied but when penalties were tabulated, Troopers made finals and I believe Crossmen disputed the penalties. I knew people who marched with 27th, North Star, and BAC that year who claimed the Associates finals was part of a conspiracy to get Troopers back in finals and give whatever corps did not make finals a consolation prize. I think if you look at the historic thread this gets mentioned and Troopers fans will recall the Miracle of 79. All a matter of perspective. This could have been fueled by the previous year. Lots of folks in Boston predicted three corps from Massachusetts in finals that year: North Star, 27th, and BAC, Garfield was looking good too and my guess is Capital Freelancer fans thought they were a shoe in, and Kilties found themselves in finals, much to the chagrin of BAC and Garfield. Finding youself in 13th when you are predicted to be a finalist is difficult. I can remember in 2012 Blue Stars semi performance was missing something, though it was not a bad performance, but it did not have the spark of the other performances I saw, Crossmen had the show of a lifetime. Though I was thrilled for Crossmen, I gained a lot of respect for Blue Stars that year. That was in the days of the parade and though their hearts were broken, they put on a brave face for the parade. I was thrilled BAC made finals in 2016, but I did feel bad for Madison.

I don’t think Kilties made finals in 79. 78 they were 12th. I do know the Guardsmen went from 10th to 7th. That I’ll never forget. They beat the Scouts, which was kind of funny because a few guys left Guardsmen to march Scouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous year, 1978 was the year prelims was so close and it was decided to try Associates in 1979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read: Concerto Hall Wide Danny Cachaca Bugle New Tiger Ole Cookout Fire over the Rainbow Kid Ecstasy Then you read the titles perfectly well. I've always loved "Wide Danny", and "Cachaca Bugle" is a classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
