It was particularly different right then. In 1960 (and again in 1961 and 1962), only four states (Massachusetts, New Jersey, Illinois, Wisconsin) put corps in VFW finals.

Brass at the Beach, July 5, TBD, SC Boston Crusaders - Boston, MA Carolina Crown - Fort Mill, SC Crossmen - San Antonio, TX Heat Wave - Tampa Bay, FL Music City - Nashville, TN Spirit of Atlanta - Atlanta, GA Is anyone on here involved with the planning of this show? Any event in SC that refers to the beach is typically in the Myrtle Beach area. Quite a few years ago they were trying to bring a show to the Coastal Carolina U stadium. You’re probably right but I would argue that the Charleston area is more deserving of a drum corps show. Larger population and there are a number of strong high school band programs in the greater Charleston area so it could serve as a recruiting tool as well.

Boss Anova Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 In last season’s Top 12 , the Colts will be in the most shows at 25 shows ( assuming 3 in Indy ) … and the Bluecoats will in the smallest number of show’s 19 shows ( also assuming the 3 in Indy ) . All the others of the Top 12 will be between 21-24 shows including Indy . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Steve Rondinaro does live in North Myrtle Beach and is a member of the CCU faculty. Edited November 15, 2023 by mcjordansc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also MBI was supposed to do field competition but they aren’t on all age. well they may need to go through the approval process and could be added later 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I think the Cadets will have the fewest shows, to be fair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Tree 320 Market Street. That's the hotel the NFL uses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
