gak27 replied to spacewill's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I was 18 that summer and my Dad bought one for me; how could I refuse? A lot of water was also consumed as I recall... -

Shows you regret NOT seeing "Live"?
gak27 replied to frank4now's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
"Kids and life" started happening after the '92 season, so "live" viewings disappeared for essentially all of the 90s and 00s...shows that I REALLY wish to have seen live? - '96 Phantom and BD, Finals - '99 SCV and BD, Finals - '03 SCV (watching the video just gives me such cool, powerful vibes) - '08 Phantom and BD, Finals - '09 SCV - '11 Phantom (they were rained out at the Massillon show, but got to see SCV) - '22 Troopers Shows that I'm REALLY thankful for HAVING seen live? Too many to count, but: - Every Finals from '74 to '82 (marched '75 and '82 so only saw parts) - Every SCV show from '74 to '92 -
"New, new, new era!"

12 Days Of Drum Corps - 1987 Santa Clara Vanguard
gak27 replied to kevingamin's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Ahh, 1987! I was a grad student at Michigan State. Got it in my mind to "just drive up to Madison to go to Finals"...fortunately, one of my friends grew up near Madison (he went to U-W undergrad) and his family still lived there and offered overnight lodging. I drive up, find a spot to park on a side street somewhat near the stadium, and on my way up to the stadium find someone selling a single ticket. I vividly remember all of the above and attending the show, but for the life of me can't remember where I was sitting 😂 -
For the Holidays I Would Like??
gak27 replied to Triple Forte's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I used to dream about having a car that had either 1) a vehicle-sized pancake flipper that could be deployed to "remove" the car ahead of you, or 2) some type of grappling arrangement whereby the car ahead of you could be lifted up and over your car and placed on the road behind you... -
Dance Company vs Color Guard
gak27 replied to oldbandguy's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I've always REALLY liked their '86 show. The whole middle part with the "ribbon boxes" that moved around / highlighted / wove through the rest of the corps was fantastic. -
