Looking for Contest Recaps


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for any contest recaps from 1970 through 1976 for a project I'm putting together. In particular, I would like to get ahold of 1972 Illinois American Legion State Finals, 1973 VFW Nationals (prelims & finals), and 1975 Bluegrass Nationals (prelims & finals). Can anyone assist?

The Illinois state contest was never published in the major drum corps periodicals of the day.  I have the Cavaliers yearbook from '72, and they don't have the recaps.

 I no longer have the Bluegrass Nationals recaps.

The VFW I do have.  The caption scores I list will be in this order:

Inspection--Cadence--M & M--Perc--Horns--GE--Penalty--Total Score

Imperials--9.5--10--24.75--17--17.45--9.2--.2--87.7

The 1975 Bluegrass Nationals finals scores appear on Corpsreps under  "Garfield Cadets". It was their first "national" title in over a decade and marked their resurgence as a potential contender on the big stage.

They made DCI Finals for the first time that season, and eventually battled to the top over the next several years.

That '75 show in Tennessee was a true turning point in the corps' history.

The Pembroke Imperials!!!

Great folks there.  My first year marching with the Manville, NJ, Sacred Heart Crusaders... 1971... we stayed at the homes of Imperials members when we were in Massachusetts for the World Open... and we returned the favor when the Imperials  came to our home show in NJ that summer.
