Northern Thunder Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 And you left out 1980 - I did this survey in 1979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Thunder Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 In my very humble opinion, there far too many corps listed for one decade This was an open survey, so people were free to write any corps they wanted. I didn't come up with any of these corps. Unlike most of the polls that appear on DCP, there were NO multiple choices here, thus there are quite a few corps listed. These were just the top vote-getters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byline Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I did this survey in 1979. Very good reason for why 1980 wasn't in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Rott Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Not one from 1978???It was because of those pom-poms, wasn't it? I was not a fan of them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byline Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) I was not a fan of them.... And I'll bet if you polled members of Two-Seven's rifle line that year, you'd find they weren't too fond of them, either. In fact, I'm pretty sure LancerFi made that comment at least once here on DCP. Let me see if I can find her post. Ah, yes, here 'tis: 1978 DCI Race There's also this post from the old corps photos thread that explains why they were used. Probably seemed like a good idea at the time, but not such a great idea in hindsight. BTW, I love Sally's retort: 27th's rifles doing pom-pons? :o That's like asking Spirit's 80 hornline to pick up clarinets! Sheesh. <_< Touché!

bass5 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Or maybe like the Scouts being asked to play disco in 1976. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironlung75 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Muchachos didn't tour much in 74 and 75 in comparison to other Midwest and Western Corps because we didn't have the money. There were a lot of corps from NJ and we even shared the town and the resources of the Cabaleros. We were not allowed to have Bingo and fund raising was very limited. But most people in the activity knew of the corps and the shows we had performed in order to make a judgement as to where we stood. Since in 74 we beat every DCI corps at least once and in 75... well you can have your own opinions about where that show stands in history.

flugelswerebugels Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) BD 1979-overrated. Great horns, and clean, but that drill? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.And my favorite show ever, Phantom 78 ain't even on the list. And you are the expert on drill, Mr. Pit!

bdon15 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 And you are the expert on drill, Mr. Pit! Those spirals at the end of "Free" were amazing! nobody at that time was doing anything even close. The broadcast coverage didn't catch it too well, but being at many of the same shows as BD, and (obviously) going on well before them, we practically memorized that show.

Roark1 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I am surprised that SCV 1974 isn't listed. Maybe it's just me, but I think that is one of the best of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
