Weaklefthand4ever Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 4th I think but 1st was only a little over a point away if I remember correctly. I didn't feel like finals was as clean as prelims was from my ear at field level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think SCV used them in the late 80s as well...maybe 86 or 87. and Cadets won drums at the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an incredible convo with the DM, contra section leader, and a couple of old-skool baritones in the Allentown lot in 1990 the about the 1986 Malden parade. They were awesome guys, and bad@sses in the best sense of the word. So, I can virtually name those guys you were speaking with in 1990. Eric G was the DM. Jimmy C was the contra section leader, and those two "Old School" baris were most likely the Dorchester/Milton boys...Chris H and Matt R. For the record, Jimmy C is now the President of the Inspire BOD and Chris H is none other than Christopher Holland, Exec Director of the Boston Crusaders. Hmm.....interesting...no? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video does not do it justice. Here's a video anyway. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 This was also the year that Blue Devils used Premier prototype free-floating snares, if I remember correctly. Star did too. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That made me smile in a big way! IIRC either Eric or Jimmy was the guy who had his jaw broken in the Malden parade. I think there was a high ratio of f-bombs in that conversation. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1989 corps had practically grown up together for the two previous seasons, and after going back and forth with Hutch in 1988 we were battle-tested. '88 was a fun year and we had exceeded expectations, but still felt a little dissed after placing 15th. '89 was much more focused. We started the season strong, but made some major changes after first tour, which included moving pieces from the front of the show to the back half the show. The hornline was on fire towards the end of the season, at one point beating Cadets. Our finals show was Meh... I think we were all exhausted and just happy to have reached our goal which was making it to Saturday night. But I still think our best show of the year was Semifinals. Just so much #### energy, we left everything on the field that night, and the crowd was really into it. I wish I could find a copy of that semifinals show. You guys were great. I loved watching your shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersop Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Star won field drums in Semi Finals 14.7 to 14.6 over SCV SCV won drums on Finals night and Star ended up 3rd because of that fuzzy roll in the opener. I think Ream is thinking about 1990. Although, Cadets were winning Drums for most of the year in 1989, until the week of Finals. Still a mystery on how they slotted down to 6th at Quarters, 4th at Semis and 4th Finals night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
