Early DCI question
Northern Thunder replied to Bob984's topic in Historical Junior Corps Discussions
Blessed Sacrament's last contests as a junior corps both came on September 4, 1972....one in Boonton, NJ and the other in Ridgefield Park, NJ. -
I cleaned out my drum corps newspapers. Never thought I'd get rid of them, but finally had to do it.

Who Really Is To Blame?
Northern Thunder replied to KeithHall's topic in Historical Junior Corps Discussions
"Go Go Tri-Knockers!", yelled by quite a group in the crowd, can be heard during Geneva's introduction on the U. S. Open record album. -

St. Joe was disqualified some time after the contest was held. -
Prayers needed for a Northstar star

I am sorry to hear this news. Jerry was a great enough soloist to get Maynard Ferguson's attention with his performance at the 1979 DCI finals. -
Great place for a contest

And, unfortunately, a black member of the Argonne Rebels was attacked by some white men in an Alabama restaurant while the corps was traveling to Miami for those American Legion Nationals. https://www.newspapers.com/clip/17865425/the-hays-daily-news/ -

Best story about drum corps in Vegas....when Las Vegas hosted the 1962 American Legion Nationals, they actually wanted to set off an atomic explosion to signal the start of the contest. DCI did hold an outdoor show in Vegas in the summer of 1981. -
Old School DCI Night

Truer words were never spoken! -
In the thousands of contests I have documented over the years, I did see a contest with a 3-way tie for first place. I seem to recall it was in the early 60s, possibly in Wisconsin. Searching for it would be quite time-consuming.
