DCC Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Can someone that was there explain what happen in 1977? 2 Corps scoirng 94+ seems a little out of place for the era. Only one corps (Cabs) had even broken a 92 ever before this year. Was there a change in the judging system or were both of these corps just that much better than anything else that had come before them?

That was a year where the corps were head to head all year with a couple of positions swaps near the end. I think we pushed each other so hard that we all rose to the occasion - thus the high scores.

'77 was a great show! - my first DCA..having those 2 corps at the top so close, made it tough to choose a winner.. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
