REALLY? Didn't buy in then, don't buy it now. The FIX was in as it was the ONLY caption where people wouldn't question the result. I really enjoyed SCV in 88 and 89, but (and this is the homer in me) Regiments performance level that night was off the charts. IMO, 89 was an 'our bad' to SCV for 87 & 88. There was NO WAY they were going to not win in 89!  If SCV had won in either of those year, I guarantee you that Regiment would have won in 89!

Well, if the over-age rules were applied consistently Phantom would have won.

I understand that the individuals bamboozled US Customs & whoever in the UK issues passports, but overage is overage.  And IIRC they received the score that determined the performance order marching the overage members.

SCV in 1989 is one of my favorite all time shows, so too is PR in 1989. I think for both shows there are mostly strengths and few weaknesses, yet while I still tend to say SCV, I will say the more you watch the Legacy DVD, the more you pick up on some small errors. Regarding the judges are watching comment, I will have to watch the Legacy DVD again. The "DCI Essentials: Classics DVD, I find that the Blu Ray is a bit more polished. Sadly, I can't listen to the download any more. The CD's are damaged and the original was on a computer that got a virus and the DCI downloads were not able to be saved.

I suppose its to be expected that there are controversies a opinions brought to the table to discuss regarding the outcome that year. Makes me wonder whether there is actually a year in DCI history where everyone agrees with the judges!

No SCV member was overage finals week and they marched holes in the drill.  Also, they self reported when they became aware of the issue.
