If You Could Do It Differently.........
TerriDitt57 replied to Rocketman's topic in Historical Junior Corps Discussions
I would have marched '79 Guardsmen. Fourth in horns, seventh overall. Seeing how things turned out in the long run , I could have waited to get married. -
Now he wants to go. I'm gonna have to get drunk at BW3 during the break to forget about my headache after round one.

We were all told Friday that everyone would be judged on DCA sheets. At least on Saturday night. Who knows? -

Sounds like Govies are improving alot. GREAT! I think it's important to look at the spreads and not the actual scores. I think Blue Stars score of 76 fits well in context with the other scores. -
Spirit hornline, 1979, 1980
TerriDitt57 replied to wolfgang's topic in Historical Junior Corps Discussions
the '78 line was very loud too. I remember warming up near them at GA tech that year. Holy ####. -
My Centerville Musings

Congrats to you and him! Take it from another parent. You really have to ignore some of this stuff. I've had people I marched with tell me things like "junior corps sucks" or "I don't like Cap Sound". I had to bite my tongue (I almost bit the ###### thing off!) but I never gave them the satisfaction of a response. -
Yikes, I had almost erased that from my memory. That was just awful.
-
I recommend '79 Guardsmen HIGHLY (no I did NOT march that year, '78 was my last year) You will hear some awesome horn playing from all sections.

Rick Moss. Best baritone player I ever heard in drum corps. And I had the privilege (and I mean privilege) of marching with Rick in 1978.

My Centerville Musings
TerriDitt57 replied to profhill's topic in DCI (All) Corps Show & Event Reviews
Thanks for the review. I would be drawn and quartered had it been written by TerriDitt57. I had some problems myself with the visual program of SW when I saw them in Normal. I have to agree, it is only partially performance issues. I am looking forward to SCV. A lot of friends of mine in Renegades think I'll love them! -
I'll chime in for Pooh Bear too. and for two guys I marched with: Dale Warren and Rick Moss, late '70's Guardsmen. Rick is the guy who played the terrific solo in "Tiger of San Pedro" in '79. I still think he is the most awesome baritone player I ever heard. (and a fabulous trombone player)

Sounds like it's getting cleaner. quote=clayjn,Jul 18 2004, 01:17 PM] 73.450 Southwind AGAIN a show the judges are not giving credit to .. lots of power, energy. but the judges must be sipping cherry and waiting for the bigger corps to look at. the drums rocked the horn line was great .. the drill was so so no real risk moves in the show.. but i liekit a lot.... -

Over-Aged Marchers
TerriDitt57 replied to Jam_man_tpt's topic in Historical Junior Corps Discussions
#### I marched with overaged guys. Saw all the stuff in the '70's, '80's etc....... I always loved Ron Allard's story about the father/son team in Mighty St. Joe's. That one kills me............. :) -
Southwestern (San Antonio) 2004 Show Review
TerriDitt57 replied to MikeN's topic in DCI (All) Corps Show & Event Reviews
I thought this was pretty cool! http://www.dci.org/news/news.cfm?news_id=9...fb-3c42650f56bf Southwind's tour dog Stu is very cute! -
DCM show in DeKalb, IL.
TerriDitt57 replied to dapreacher's topic in DCI (All) Corps Show & Event Reviews
- The lack of comments on the Royal Airs is no reflection on your performance. Remember that most corps members missed you, as they were assembling for finale. From where I was, you guys won the high-decibel award for the night, and I was surprised at how well you recreated that drum solo from '75 Cavaliers' show. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's not that surprising. Most of those guys marched in Cavaliers in the '70's. -
Southwestern (San Antonio) 2004 Show Review
TerriDitt57 replied to MikeN's topic in DCI (All) Corps Show & Event Reviews
About Magic and the Pirate show.... One of my favorite Madison Scout's shows was The Pirates of Lake Mendota. Really underrated. -
So he didn't like Southwind. I can live with that. They have bit off a lot to chew and until it's cleaned up, there isn't going to be a whole lot of clarity.

Baton Rouge, LA Review
TerriDitt57 replied to stevenmusumeche's topic in DCI (All) Corps Show & Event Reviews
I'd really love to know what's going on with them. I know they were dirty at Normal and it seems to me that some of this should be getting cleaned up and the score should be going up (not down like last night) A little distressing to say the least. -

TerriDitt57 replied to dapreacher's topic in DCI (All) Corps Show & Event Reviews
Blue Stars are what is cool now. I don't want to get into the non-coolness........... -
did he mention the mosquitoes? No one liked them (me either). I know the honor guard wants to thank Art Green of the Royal-Airs honor guard for the loan of his OFF. He saved them (and me) from total suckage. (by mosquitoes) Art, I know you aren't reading this, but those who are, Art is one of the great guys of drum corps. Learn his name, OK?
