I think Kilties played it first in 68 when they won VFW.. They learned that concert mid season. I even played it in Norwood Park in 73. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys stirred it up a little in 74 but you ended up on top. Kilts had a comedy of errors at DCI that year in finals. A timpani strap broke and the DM had to wait for him to fix it and a penalty knocked them down two places. I personally thought Kingsmen had a much better show that year.

They must have jumped on that song immediately! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always causing chit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I would rather withhold judgment until we see scores from all the other top-12 contenders. It's just a little bit of history repeating.

"Ken Norman was pretty tuned in, I guess." That's putting it mildly. Compared with all the other arrangers in the history of this game, he came from another planet. (I can imagine Yoda saying, "Tuned in, he was, Ken Norman.") 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sued Herscher high School (and won) in the mid 70’s for lifting one of his arrangements note for note. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
