Jeff Ream Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 You make me laugh. Neal Smith is consitered one of DCI's best visual caption heads. North Star in 1980 marched one of the cleanest shows that DCI has ever seen.[ Plus they had one of the best if not the best DCI drumlines ever {from 78-81}] really? What did North Star place in 1980?

Daave Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Where is MikeD when ya need him? I think that a spirited Rabbit Season vs. Duck Season debate between he and Howdy could get us through the weekend just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) really? What did North Star place in 1980? In Marching and Maneuvering Execution, (what marching performance was called back then), North Star received 9.0 (out of a possible 15.0) from Judge #1 (11th place) and 9.7 from Judge #2 (tie for 10th place). Since drums also came up for the period of 1979 through 1981; in 1979 the average of the two Drum Execution scores plus Percussion Analysis was 18.5 out of 20.0. The drums tied on the sheet of Execution Judge #1 for the top score with Santa Clara Vanguard, tied on the sheet of Execution Judge #2 for the top score with SCV and Phantom Regiment, and was 3rd in Percussion Analysis for a total drum score that was 0.2 behind SCV. In 1980, the line was 9th in Total Drumming. I don't have the placements for 1981 because the corps was 13th in Prelims and I only have recaps for Finals.

At least we can agree on something. One of the best Drum and Bugle Corps ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) I love that Corps, Classic! At least we can agree on something. One of the best Drum and Bugle Corps ever. I'd watch that North Star Corps any day of the week..." Sir Duke"..." Masquerade".... Star Wars Theme "....." Ole "... etc... great percussion and guard.... outstanding soloists... etc. Fun Corps. 'Didn't matter to me where the judges put them for performance and execution. That's in their domain. I can't go there. The entertainment "value and enjoyment " quotient is in my domain. The judges can't go there. Edited January 15, 2011 by BRASSO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the Pioneer Drum Corps has over 40,000 views... and counting... is as good as it gets, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
