    1973: Does it seem like the "Lost Year"?

    in Historical Junior Corps Discussions

    Posted

    I remember a lot of things about 73. I remember seeing the Stockton Commodors and saying "Man those cats can play". Who knew that Ott was working that line and what it would lead to.

    In 73 Muchachos became a real player in the east. I was with 2-7 and we tied them twice, two shows in a row. We all know what 74 & 75 WERE FOR THEM.

    73 was my favorite St. Andrews (Bridgemen for you youngsters) show, Mr Clown, Summer of 42.

    2-7 palyed Crown for the first time, AND so did Bellville Black Knights who had the tallest bari line I ever saw and made top 12.

    Yes 73 is also my favorite SCV. So many arcs and flowing forms, it was "different" and that's what made it cool. And that closer of Havala I think was awesome, that hit the mello solo was powerful, just powerful

    Could the cadets be heading for the most unpopular dci victory ever?

    man.. if cadets did a non-narration show.. with some awesome music.. id be all over it.. but this.. yuck. cut the narration.. give us drum corps

    I saw them last Friday night and you can't deny that they are an excellent drum corps. Narration or not ( and I prefer not) they are very very good. It is not the typical Cadets show. It is visually written a little different and it is interesting and good.

    I have not been a big fan of the last few productions (The Door & Alice) but this is a bit different.

    Hey a Corvette is still a Corvette even if you don't like the color. I think this Cadets show might have the legs.

    That's awesome Dale!!!!!!!!

    I haven't checked this thread for a while and was shocked and thrilled to see these.

    We always looked up to the Defenders and kept pulling for you right up through '82 when Eric and Steve were on staff.

    I can still see you guys bursting out of the arc during the hit in Solitaire all those years ago.

    Looks like these pics are from the WO Finals in 1980?

    Thanks Russ. Here is that burst, it was a cool moment.

    Hi Dusty, It's Dale Powers.

    I sent about 40 pictures of BAC to Bob Kennedy but I still have a few from 78 & 79 I can post over the weekend.
