  1. I still haven't figured out how the all-age corps are scored in junior corps contests.
  2. chris7997..... I see you are from Washington, DC. Your statement on SCV is the most bizarre thing to be said in DC in a long line of bizarre statements from there.
  3. Since SCV hasn't won a medal since 2004, it really hasn't happened the way it has this year.
  4. I'll never forget visiting with several Crossmen members in a dorm recreation hall at 1979 DCI Midwest in Whitewater. Crossmen and Spirit had toured out to California together the previous week. It was a nasty tour for Crossmen, with bus breakdowns, etc. One of their contra players told me how close Crossmen and Spirit got that week, with Spirit coming to the rescue with a bus, etc. You could tell he was amazed by the camaradarie that took place that week, (and when he told me, I was equally amazed) and how great to see it's still going on in 2017!
  5. Saw them in Minneapolis. Both present fine shows, as always!
  6. Some local media coverage: http://www.wzzm13.com/life/one-good-thing/one-good-thing-legends-drum-bugle-corps/459501674
  7. There were some great stories about the total solar eclipse of July, 1963, which occurred in the northeastern part of the country. There was a documented story about a drum corps show out that way that was going on right during totality of the eclipse. I don't have the details at present, but you can imagine the excitement that happened that day!
  8. The Dallas Morning News just posted this Crossmen video:
  9. I had never heard that it was the Blue Stars that did that. I know Crossmen and Blue Stars were touring together in those southern DCI shows in August of 76.
