Hook'emCavies Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Its a little known fact that Alexander Graham bell invented the telephone to facilitate the faster spread of drum corps scores. Years later, another man named Al Gore would follow in his footsteps, and invent the internet to speed the release of scores even further. I knew it!! but no one believe me!!

Lance Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 BD and Cavies both had good telephone scorelines. Madison for awhile, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBSMYTH Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 There were many different ways: Way back in the day - it all started with hieroglyphics. Then came rocks and chisels and papyrus. Fast forward just a bit to Gutenberg which is what allowed the printing of Drum Corps World. For a while back in the '60's, the west coast used the Pony Express.

So if they used hieroglyphics does that mean corps at one point used rocks instead of tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeepItReal Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 did not knowing the competitions scores, or scores across the country make drum corps more or less competitive? I mean, I can imagine a groupe getting tunnel vision to gain a point, only to be side swiped by a corps from another area they've just recently come up against. coughcoughbscouts76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
