HornTeacher Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 But you weren't saying it is a dumb thing to say or believe, like other things people are listing here. I that is what he missed. Attempts at humor should never have to be apologized for. The results of those attempts are a big reason I tune in here. We can never know ahead of time which ones will strike oil. :) Thank You, Jed Clampett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornTeacher Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) I knew it! Probably the season the guard didn't wear underwear. 1978. That corps was amazing.. Are we citing a most certain and observable case of Divine Inspiration??? Edited March 14, 2015 by HornTeacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 " the Corps scored lower than usual this week as several of the Corps marchers came down this week with food poisoning , or the flu, or excessive bus fumes inhalation or fill in the blank malady" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tad_MMA Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Disaster? Was it because they got 4th place or did something else happen? Look at the drill, the feet and the Vis Effect of 1983-1985. Then in one fell swoop (and yes, MANY ageouts), look at the drill, feet and Vis Effect of 1986. Disaster. They were ###### lucky to come out of that on the other side. Not since the Anaheim Kingsmen had a defending champion looked so badly. Granted, that Disaster was 0.1 from 3rd place, but 5th through 8th had a lot of scoring baggage---luckily for Garfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a huge drop in innovation and performance level but most of all, the thought was the glory days were over for the Cadets and they would soon be back to 11th place playing Elk's Parade. Luckily we got the team back in 1987. There after, the home grown talent took root end we generated Micheal Klesh, Tom Aungst, April Gilligan, Jeff Saktig and that process continued to momentum. After Jim, Donny, George Z, Peggy left, we had enough home grown talent to step in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't keen on the scaled-down guard, the ending piece, the plastic clarinets and the banners in the opener. I think some of those choices in the programming were risks the corps took and I'm glad it was a one-time thing - even though I think the effort took a lot of guts. I remember some comments here from people who liked the banners. As for feet, drill and visual effect I'm not qualified to even compare those to other years. The massive brass sound in the opener was nice though. Edited March 14, 2015 by Lincoln Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 What the record book says is that ANY season the Cadets divert attention to major non-competitive drum corps events, they do not perform/score as well as in other years. (viz., Statue of Liberty re-dedication with Project Sail, Atlanta Olympics, etc.) "86 was the Statue of Liberty year, a highlight in other ways beyond the competition field.
