Rocketman Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 So, unless I am losing it, I noticed that the Matadors placed 10th in prelims (the last spot) but the Thunderbirds (11th) competed in the finals. Just wondering what was up with that? Thanks, RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomPeashey Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 you're losing it Erie finished 10th in prelims and 8th in finals (sliding ahead of both Matadors and Phoenix) Matadors finished 9th in prelims and 10th in finals both corps were definitely finalists and voting members in 1976 1976 was also the last stand for Phoenix who were not seen again... could you have been looking at a different year other than 1976?

Gary Matczak Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 You might be thinking about 1973,...............Matadors took 10th in prelims, Erie took 12th,................Matadors took 10th at finals, Erie took 11th, as there were 12 corps in finals that year,...........

JimF-LowBari Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) 1976 Westshoremen 11th and Guelph Royalaires 12th... Both corps recorded in standstill arcs in the short time between end of Prelims and start of Finals and only the color guards in the stands. Soon as we were done the gates opened for the Finals crowd.... Edited April 16, 2012 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
