Did not march in the show . But I drove up there to see it together with my brother at a spur of the moment thing . In ‘74 We had no tickets , no hotel reservations . We got there after the 6-7 hour drive to find out all hotel rooms in the area were booked . DCI then quickly set up arrangements at Ithaca College to allow folks to stay in the dorms and at a pretty decent rate too . We got a room on the top floor and from below we could actually see what corps were lining up one after the other for prelims . We got tickets and It was awesome . We saw a corps perform at prelims that was pretty new that we really did not know that much about and thought they performed well enough to maybe make finals .. which they did . 11th . The corps was from Concord , California .. 😊 Edited December 16, 2022 by Boss Anova 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
