wasn't it originally a disco show? Or have I heard inccorectly?

I've only heard the Cadets so far, but I am excited to see them getting away from last year and back to the Cadets I love, even if it does have narration. I'd give them a 9.5 for pre season goodness.

At least they've got field turf now, instead of WVU's old turf from quite a while back. The old Laidly was not the best place to play, but the past few years with UC owning it, has made for some improvments, but I'd still prefer it to be in Huntington, where it always was.

its really cool to hear these stories about wave and other corps that were just as good as others, but just so happned to miss the big day by a few

ebay has been good to my drum corps collection :)

yeah 86 had some nice solo sops and a nice baritone solo in the opener

wow i'd like one of those!!!

i can't wait to hear the news, having VK come back is awsome..now if we could get the lancers....freelancers....anahiem.....etc.....back as well :)

Just got some recordings of 86 and 87 Florida Wave, and I must say that they played one heck of a good arrangement of coconut champagne. It really is exciting. Shame they never made finals <**> , considering how many years they were so close. Any thoughts/ opinions?

As a younger fan, whom didn't see these shows live, I can't really say that SCV was more "emotional" in 89 than 88, as sometimes has been said, but I can say that 88 was cleaner by my DVD, however, Madison clearly looked the better that night. But 89 imo should have been given to Phantom Regiment. That show is jaw dropping. I show it to new marchers and they are amazed everytime.

i know sunscreen has been said many times, but it can't be said enough, you'll thank yourself later in life when you don't have skin cancer

they tied for first, i'd consider that winning it all, but i'd have to say Spirit of Atlanta or the bridgemen, as both got close several times but failed to achieve a first place victory at DCI

As a fan of the police, i am interesed to hear the bluecoats play every breath I take

I know there are some on corps reps, but i don't know the legals on that

Good luck VK! Here is one fan that has sorely missed your presence on the field!

whew.....lets hope not

nope, almost everybody bought Bb's, why go back out and buy G's?

no problems in Bridgeport WV, and we had about 120 in a 150 seat theatre, which was up from the year before.

I've gone to the other two, why stop now....i'll be seeing it in Bridgeport, WV

all of them will improve

Hey in 82 spirit was 12th, then jumped to 7th so, should they have told all the 82 kids not to come back just becasue they got 12th??...pure stupidity

crossmen 1989

got a vote here

I know we were required three years at marshall to get our ed degree

in 2004 the marching thunder of marshall U joined The Ohio University MArching band together at halftime for an american tribute, It was definatly one of my favorite colligate moments, 550 or so playing members playing america the beautiul (i think, i'd have to find my music folder) now that was somthing. 100,000 fans applauding couldn't be wrong
