tommytimp Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) For starters, 27's late-70s and 80s drumlines played with a style unmatched by anyone before or since. The fact that they were really clean (and, in 1984, historic) was a plus. Edited December 29, 2009 by tommytimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumno5 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Bleu Raeders (1972 Finalist) were a great corps with a fine drum line... Marty Hurley's first DCI finalist drum line - before Belleville, and before he became a high profile mover and shaker with Phantom. Fred O.

DRB Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that North Star was 1st to march quads like we know currently. I contend that it was the Guardsmen who made quads what they are today. The Guardsmen 79 & 80 quad lines set the stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonysop Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I always wondered if it was as much fun to be in the Bridgemen as it looked like it was... I mean, I bet they had some intense rehearsals but they always looked so cool and laid back! Still is.....Still do.....Still are! HYPE!!

canonrt Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 So True! The SHOW NEVER ENDS! C'mon down & see for yourself! There is still time & still room! May the HYPE be with you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Argonne proved that a valve-rotor G horn line could play in tune... Absolutely! Great horn lines there. Their "Fanfare for the New" chart from 1973 was off the hook.... especially for its time. Fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977Kingsmen Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 In my rookie year with the capitol chargers we were at a show in streator i believe and the des plaines vangaurd were on the field and i remember asking one of the staff why the were like laying on the field and such acting out west side story which at the time was unheard of the staff member told me they were trying something new in drum corps with mixed results. still a strong memorie all these years later.

Legolaus Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Anaheim's show in 1974 was absolutely amazing. I remember the first time I hear it and I thought that they were setting a new standard for the activity. Their hornline nailed that show, but it was the great arrangements and the way the drums and horns fit in with each other that really stood out for me.
