JimF-LowBari Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 The North Canton contest should be listed as taking place July 12. Day after Canton, OH (Sat night) show in 1979/1980 should be Sunday afternoon show at Erie, PA. Think I saw the same problem on srcorps.

And sure you have the correct locations too as one year (forget 78 or 79) was at Edinboro Univ. Home of the "Frozen Scots" (Had to throw that in...)

Glen Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Yes, this is very difficult. Most of the mistakes you see are typos. I'll fix 1994 soon. After you type in hundreds and hundreds of scores, you get delirious after a while. Remember, everything prior to 1999 was transcribed from paper! As someone who has spent the last 33 years researching drum corps scores, I can tell you how tough a job it isto archive it accurately. It is a constant series of changing numbers, dates, locations, corps, etc. And there are few "master lists" to compare with. Any given contest can have different results depending on where it is published. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
