wvu80 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) It's kind of funny, That's how I felt about Blue Devils in 1982. Days before, we had just beaten SCV for the first time in Huntington, W.V. and we ( The Cadets ) (respectful snip) You should know, Boxing Fred, that I was at that Huntingon show, and I remember everything about it. What a great show that was (all the corps in one evening is a "show" to me). It was called "Drums Across the Tri-State." In fact, I think I have the audio tape of it, converted to an MP3. I remember Garfield absolutely ripping across the field with Rocky Point Holiday that night, and the incredible sense of disbelief I had that Garfield, a corps was good but never a contender, had actually BEAT the defending DCI champions. Those are great, great, memories. Thank you for bringing that show to me 28 years ago, and reminding me of it again, tonight.

INSIDETHEFORTY Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) 1975 Hawthorne Muchachos should at least get an honorable mention. The 1976 Bayonne Bridgemen set the drum corps world on it's ear, but no mention? Edited June 9, 2010 by INSIDETHEFORTY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigW Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 84 Cadets 96 and 08 Phantom 86 Blue Devils 80 Bridgemen Jeez. Only 5. Honorable Mention, 1991 Crossmen. Just had to include them somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigW Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Great selections! I would probably have different choices on SCV and Cavies, with 2008 Phantom and 1995 Madison moving SCV and Cavies to just outside the Top 5.Special kudos for bringing up the 1982 Blue Devils - who do not get enough love on DCP! A truly awesome corps, show, and performance - EVERY time I saw them that summer! Highest tick-system score ever! Outstanding brass charts and execution, the first of many classic Float drum lines, and the original wings on the guard. Simply outstanding! Yeah... the '82 Devils were as smooth as paint flowing off a brush. Wonderful corps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
