I almost my pants at the idea I was in your head! i almost lived it. actually come to think of it, when we won DCA by .1, we won percussion by 8 and tied in GE due to .4 spread in percussion GE. otherwise 2econd in all but two other subs, that were 3rd. man the last half of the 90's were good to me while giving me heart attacks LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were actually 6th on one and that was averaged with the one we won, and the average bailed us out. The 3rd place band won the music sheets by a combined .4 over us, but a combined .7 over the second place band. no one was more surprised than us. The second place band beat us by 1.15 2 weeks before My HS band had a habit of sleepwalking through the first 6 weeks of the season, until the festival we hosted in early October. My freshman year our brand new, right out of JSU and the Blue Devils 22 year old assistant director lost his mind at our run through Saturday morning. He told us we were going to embarrass ourselves that night in front of 22 visiting bands. Our show that night was probably 8 points better than our run through. He couldn't understand. The seniors told him "It doesn't really matter until we march out under the lights in front of all those other bands. Now... it's on."

The greatest season of drum corps of all time As a BD honk, PR earned that title and I was so happy for them. In hindsight, that silver might have been the best thing. If BD wins in 2008, I don't know if they annihilate the competition like they did in 2009-2010. I think the silver in 08 motivated BD. Best thing about BD taking silver's, is the hornet's nest has been poked, and they are swinging for the fences the following year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
