KeithHall Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Choose a top 12 corps (or go top 20), who still seems to be underrated since 1972. Corps that come to my mind.....Des Plaines Vanguard, Blue Knights, Purple Lancers, DeLasalle Oaklands and Squires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hy Dreitzer arrangements if I remember correctly. Why they didn 't go to DCI in 72 and 73 is still a mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brassmen had a great shot at making finals both those years if they had gone. Yep... those were Hy's charts. Some of his finest work, IMO.

Carman's disdain for DCI was very vocal and we'll publicized ... I seem to remember a lengthy op-ed he wrote for DCN expressing his views 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSnareDrummer Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I never gave St Rita's much consideration back in those days. After seeing these positive reviews, I'll have to go back and have a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
