84BDsop Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I was there in 1982 when Rob McConnell came to our housing site in Montreal after we won DCI. He spent most of the evening with us during our victory celebration back at our housing site. I've got a DCI yearbook somewhere that he signed. Did he ever stop talking?

Drumcorpsfan471 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I was there for Finals night in 2007, when during the Cadet's show. Right before the third movement when the baritone player begins to talk about his experience with music, a member of the crowd yells, "Shut up!" Anyone who was there heard it. It's difficult (but not impossible) to hear it on the finals DVD's. If you listen closely, you can hear someone shout something and then a few people laugh. It happened, and I was there. Check out my response a few pages back.....oh and I was there too, though I couldn't exactly hear that since I was performing for you and whoever yelled that.

ajlemm Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'll take a slightly different tack on this one... Yes, I was there, but my 5 year old son was there in Allentown, PA in 2008 when two things happened (can't remember if they were the same night because we went to both shows)... Bones showed up, and my 5 year old was very excited because I had been telling him that it could happen... and Phantom Regiment unveiled their "killing" of the "emperor"/drum major. Unbelievable. I had never experienced a drum corps moment like that until that moment. I hope I witness something like that again. I was also there at finals. Other than 2006, when PR made me weep, the victory in 2008 is a lasting memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Bennett3rd Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 1991 DCI Mid-America....Star won...the crowd disagreed, and Brandt Crocker "corrected" them with... LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THAT IS UNCALLED FOR.... The crowd seemingly realized that their "complaints" may have been with the design staff, NOT THE STUDENTS... I have never felt soooo bad for another corps in my life.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madscout96 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 ...Watching a recently aged out DM (then horn player) lose her bikini bottom a fews years ago during rehearsel and she finished the set. OMFG!!! ... When was this? I need more details!!!!!!! lol I was there at Stillwater, MN in 1995 when the Troopers beat up a Pioneer staff member for what they interpreted as breaking their ranks. The Troopers were penalized 3 whole points at Preview Of Champions prelims for the incident (I didn't witness it, but I was there at the show.)

The Troopers were penalized 3 whole points at Preview Of Champions prelims for the incident (I didn't witness it, but I was there at the show.) And we all thought the penalty was for the staff member running onto the field during the show to adjust the placement of flags. It wasn't until I read about it a week later. The penalty was only announced as a "code of conduct" penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bstar82 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Was this in 05? If it is, that's one of my funniest memories of tour! Yup, it was 05 allright and I couldn't have picked a better couple of days to help out or I would have missed out. She's a good sport about it though even to this day.

Brent Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) ...there was a rain delay in Sevierville 1988. SCV was the corps at the show site and invited our corps into the Gym for a little mid season show and tell. It was one of those gymnasiums where the basketball court was down below the seating. We played Malaguena from one side of the gym and SCV answered with their Phantom Closer, with the colorguard performing on the gym floor. Both hornlines then intermixed. SCV played Bring in the Clowns and then both hornlines finished by playing Never Walk Alone. These moments are etched into my memory and one of many where SCV and Madison gathered to admire and respect one another's corps. create peace, Brent Edited December 10, 2008 by Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
