Mellofello01 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 (edited) Yeah!! Yeah! But didja ever march the Dream? Yeah...won it too! It was wicked pissa! In 1971 And what a terrific show that was. Some "Chicago" tunes and the first year for Danny Boy, IIRC. 2-7 was magnificant that day.

doublc Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I like getting to revive the old threads! Just found this one, and wanted to chip in a couple of terms unique to This Thing Of Ours: Short Show. First field show in which I ever marched was a Short Show (1977 World Open prelims) Color Pre - usually took you into Concert Dry & Wet runthroughs Arc it up Ensemble rehearsal And everybody's favorite.....Bring It In!

elphaba01 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 "Jurasic Jargon": "Troop the Line" Actually from the military "Saturday Parades". At retreat the corps would line up in parade blocks, with the host corps to the viewers extreme left. The host corps would then march in parade formation in front of the assembled competing corps, counter march and resume their place in the line up. Scores would then be announced, and the host corps would be the first to leave the field. I remember this from WAAYYYYYY back in the late 1950' Elphaba WWW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
