skajerk Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I was in S.A last year when Bones made his (her?) appearance which was my first live viewing of Bones. My wife couldn't figure out why I was smiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I was there when a judge died at the West Chester, PA show right before Madison was to step off. Early 80's maybe?Not a fun thing but it fits the thread. 1979.... Bob Jacobs. Fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prodigal bari Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I WAS THERE WHEN......Patterson NJ armory 1982. George Zingalli passed out the first drill for ROCKY POINT HOLIDAY. thinking ." He must be kidding " Garfield NJ 1980. =THE YEAR . winter rehearsal. 14 brass players in room with Donny Van Doran . working our butts off and NEVER Giving up. 1st score of season 51.050 ( under corps who finished 25th in DCI ) final score 81.450 10th place DCI finals. CHEZ I was there for both shows...in another corps you beat...and was amazed at the change!! THAT was the beginning of the move of Garfield to the pinnacle of the DC activity...

84BDsop Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 fixedeasier to understand what he was saying now? You missed the point...look at the corps listed and their 1982 placements. The Colts finished 24th Boston Crusaders finished 26th Bluecoats finished 33rd Glassmen finished 34th Southwind finished 36th Blue Stars finished 37th The point is NOT that they could not finish below 24th because of the number of corps...the point is that all of them -- woth the exception of Southwind -- have made finals...all but Blue Stars multiple times...it's an indicator ov improvement against gthe monsters above them....not raw placement. BS made constant inprovement after #### near folding years back....working their way through Div III (winning at least once that I'm aware of), Div II, then close to making Div I finals a couple of years before reentering last season. Southwind has bounced around a lot, coming close in 2000 to making the Saturday show, but averaging a placement in the mid teens is better than averaging one in the 20s...it's still an improvement.
