Eddie Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Lets see... I would say with my former corps, there seems to be this "semi" curse... meaning that the corps (since 1999) would always max out at semis (the 2nd to last show). Coast Guard Open was a curse in itself when I was marching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madscout96 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 The MOJO thing isn't a curse, it's a superstition. A curse is something you can't really do anything about, like the Chicago Cubs curse of the goat, or Philadelphia sports teams' curse of the William Penn statue. DCI has a curse though. When Star of Indiana left, they put a curse on DCI and so no new corps has won a championship since. Boston Crusaders were cursed until 1999 when they finally made Finals. Nowadays we wouldn't call the inability to make Finals a curse. We'd call it "it's too tough to move up in this activity". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancingfrog Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) Someone in St. Kevin's Emerald Knights stepped over the side-line at the National Championsips while the corps was playing, "This Is Worth Fighting For!" The penalty received cost them the championship. Edited May 30, 2008 by dancingfrog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouooga Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 DCI has a curse though. When Star of Indiana left, they put a curse on DCI and so no new corps has won a championship since. No new corps as in no new champion, or no brand new corps can win? If the former, what about Phantom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossop Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 No corps that has appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated has even won the championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldingna Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 At Tarheel Sun, we would always win the Atlantic Division championship, then lose to the Spartans at finals. The funny thing is that we were always beating them by at least six points a week or two prior to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madscout96 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 No new corps as in no new champion, or no brand new corps can win? If the former, what about Phantom? oops... What I meant to say is, no corps has won its first FULL championship since. (Phantom won half a championship... lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itechitall Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 There is a Spirit of NJ curse to all drum corps that give us problems LOL Our curse has caused corps to fold is the legend. If you are looking Phil (old bones), Harold and ISaac say you can explain this better than me LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
