ADetteAllTheWay Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) I might have one - Sunrisers - '69 - '71 - "Ritual Fire Dance" It's either them or the Trumbull Cadets. ; - ) Edited June 30, 2011 by ADetteAllTheWay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajlisko Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I might have one - Sunrisers - '69 - '71 - "Ritual Fire Dance" It's either them or the Trumbull Cadets. ; - ) Hmmmm ... don't think so ... CYO Nats was a Jr. show ... and I don't think Trumbull Cadets ever appeared there ... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellofello01 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) I'll go with: Bridgemen 1978 Ritual Fire Dance (RFD) OR Anaheim Kingsmen 1971(or '72) RFD Oh wait, maybe even K'men 1973 The second offering I think is a blue and white corps from the midwest playing a melon family tune.

elphaba01 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 The Quincy, MA Show this Friday, July 1st, will be a tribute to the legendary CYO Nationals and so is the current installment of "Off the Record". The first person who can correctly identify, in order, the corps, year, and song title of the samples featured on the program will receive a copy of the CD "State of the Art", recorded by the Santa Clara Vanguard and Blue Devils at the Concord Pavilion, in 1980. (It was the first multi-track drum corps recording.) The sequence begins with the Boston Crusaders, 1964, "Zing, Went the Strings of My Heart". Post the rest below. Good luck! CYO Nationals "Through the Years" 1965 Chicago Royal Airs, "Watermellon Man" 1965 St Marys Cardinals "Tropical Heat Wave" 1965 St Kevins Emerald Knights "Charmaine" 1969 Casper Troopers "Battle Hymm" 1973 LaCrosse Blue Stars "Malaga" 1972 Anahiem Kinsmen, "Saber Dance" 1971 Blue Rock, "American Salute" 1975 Madison Scouts, "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue" 1979 North Star "Great Soloist: Jerry Noonan" 1980 27th Lancers "Crown Imperial" 1983 Santa Clara Vanguard 1984 Garfield Cadets "Maria/West Side Stroy" Elphaba WWW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellofello01 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Oh yeah Blue devils - 1980 - Ya Gotta Try Note - Perhaps the best mello features of the era in this tune. And the soloist Oh, the soloist. Edited June 30, 2011 by Mellofello01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironlips Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Oh yeah Blue devils - 1980 - Ya Gotta Try Note - Perhaps the best mello features of the era in this tune. And the soloist Oh, the soloist. The story so far... Elphaba and MelloFello together are pretty darn good and currently lead the pack in all captions. Nice going! The list still needs a little tweak here and there, but there are bonus points for identifying that North Star star. Hints: 1. choose years when the given corps appeared at CYO, especially if they won the show. 2. there are 2 "studio" recordings, one with Walter Brennan Also, I have received several lists by email. They only count if posted here. In the event no one gets a perfect score, the earliest one with the most correct answers will win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiodb Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I'm going to take a crack at this "closed book" (without listening to my collection for comparison). I can only guess at some of the years, since so many of these songs were played in several seasons. 1964 Boston Crusaders - Zing Went the Strings of My Heart, Russian Sailor's Dance 1965 Royal Airs - Watermelon Man 1965 St. Mary's Cardinals - Tropical Heat Wave 1965 St. Kevin's Emerald Knights - Charmaine 1970 Troopers - Battle Hymn of the Republic 1971 Blue Rock - American Salute 1971 Anaheim Kingsmen - Ritual Fire Dance (in honor of 1972) 1973 Blue Stars - Malaga 1975 Madison Scouts - Slaughter on Tenth Avenue 1979 North Star - Ole 1980 Blue Devils - Ya Gotta Try 80 (State of the Art) 1981 27th Lancers - Crown Imperial 81 1983 Santa Clara Vanguard - Symphony #3 (Giannini), 4th Movement 1984 Garfield Cadets - Maria (I assume the clip of Skyliners' "Little Old New York" at the end isn't part of the CYO tribute.) The tricky one is the Kingsmen clip. If I'm guessing correctly, that clip is from the "1972 International Preview" LP, which assembled recordings of all 13 original DCI member corps in June of 1972. The Kingsmen, however, were not available to be recorded (that was right when they nearly folded, then regrouped)....so a copy of a Dale Johnson recording of the 1971 corps was used for this LP. Since they kept pretty much all their music in 1972, I imagine few people are even aware that the recording on that LP is not '72....I only realized it when I acquired the production masters, and found the box with Dale's handwriting on it.

ironlips Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Audiodb is almost perfect, and also gets bonus points for the Anaheim back story. It's getting crowded at the top of this contest. We'll keep it open until after the show tomorrow night just to see if anyone gets "all 10's", so to speak. F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
