Ghost Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 They finished 11th in 87 and 88. Two different paragraphs mentioned different years for first making top 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would constitute " stabilizing as a Top 12 Finalist in 1988 " ( which is what was printed above ) no ?

I don't get that from my reading of this ghost. Unless I'm missing something you caught, the article seems consistent to me anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Haring Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Looking at their schedule that year.....I remember when they would come to Baltimore for a weekend camp, usually around Easter weekend. We ran into a bunch of them down at the Inner Harbor one of those years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show was April so maybe the camp and show were part of the weekend. Not sure what Larry H was doing with them if anything at the time.

N.E. Brigand Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 That was the first year I ever saw a drum corps performance, at Byers Field in Parma, although I had seen Cadets rehearse (not to mention sleeping in our gym) that year and the previous year, and the Bluecoats sent a couple guys to recruit at our school a year or two earlier as well (unsuccessfully: the pitch was not well done). I still remember the sopranos lined up each with his hand on his neighbor's shoulder, in "Sing Sing Sing". A good year for the corps: the first time they scored 90 in Finals.

We ran into a bunch of them down at the Inner Harbor one of those years. It wasn't 89. There was a change in schedule and they ended up doing the spring drill camp at the RCA Dome (Hoosier Dome). Although I may have been there, Fran! We did those spring Baltimore Armory camps in 1990 and 1991 when I marched. Although it may have been earlier as they were there in 86, 87, 88. Maybe before that too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
