The show progresses from black and white at the beginning to a full explosion of color by the end. Plus the corps song is "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m wondering how much can be done this late in the game. It seems to me possibly the only thing to be done is to work on the members “selling” the ending. Don’t believe there’s enough time for any kind of rewrite. Take you back a few years. When it became obvious in 1980 that we were stuck in 9th place, we added the additional time to the end of the show and laid down. It wasn't much for our score, but it sure made the crowd love it all the more. Releasing right on the second gun made it all the sweeter. I will let the guard comment on why they all pointed at the judge's box at the end. Edited August 6, 2018 by Old Corps Guy 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya got trouble, my friend, right here, Do you notice just about every Corps name in the Top 12 rhymes with T? Trouble with a capital "T" And that rhymes with "C" and that stands for Cavies! Trouble with a capital "T" And that rhymes with "V" and that stands for Vanguard! Trouble with a capital "T" And that rhymes with "B" and that stands for BAC! Trouble with a capital "T" And that rhymes with "P" and that stands for Phantom! And so on....Bloo, Blue Devils, Crossmen, Crown, Cadets, Blue Stars, BK So the only Corps in the top 12 that doesn't have trouble is Mandarins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you never thought they would take those marching keyboards out of storage and use them again 38 years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
