Except for an early season competition loss (by a few tenths in June to the Madison Scouts,) Star never lost a show in July or August of that '91 season. They won all the local, big regionals, and all 3 at Dallas DCI Championships sbows. Madison actually gave them a 2.3 point whooping on 6/28 - 78.1 to 75.8. I remember that because it was so shocking. Star was the clear leader at that time, so a 2.3 point loss was huge. I always wondered what happened that night. I gather nothing out of the ordinary since the next night Star won 79.3 to 79.2. So for a moment in time Madison was arguably the best corps in 1991, or one of them. Madison also beat everyone that year, at least once. One of the few times that's happened. The only other loss Star sustained in 1991 was a 0.6 loss to the Cavaliers on 6/27. So two losses in a row, then nothing but wins. I didn't appreciate that show during the 1991. I appreciated 1990 Star from the first viewing, but not 1991 (or 1993). It wasn't until like 15 years later when I pulled out the CD and was completely awestruck by 1991 Star. 1993 would come a year later. Huge Star homer. Miss them every year. They were utterly amazing. I consider 1991 and 1993 to be two of the absolutely greatest shows ever. That 1992 hornline, I consider the best ever.

Best part of my drum corps experience EVER 92 horn line was god like 93 show was 2 decades ahead of time 91 should have been unbeaten 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example - Star scored 92.8 in 1988, not 95.5. And 97.0 in 1991, not 97.3. Edited April 21, 2018 by queenanne_1536 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't there, but I don't think I've ever seen an instance where Madison was placed higher than they deserve. Star had an insanely difficult show that year, and Madison was a darn good 7th place corps, so I don't think there was any foul play there. With a show that difficult, it would make sense that Star would have up and down nights, especially in June. 1990-1993 Star is definitely in my top 10 shows of all time.

No, they shouldn’t have beaten Star. Weird things always happened in Dekalb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
