wolfgang Posted October 10, 2025 Posted October 10, 2025 So I'll go back to square one. In 1972 when Anaheim Kingsmen came from behind and won the first finals, was that controversial for the second place corps? Quote

Members of Devils, 27 and Phantom came up to some of them and congratulated them on winning their first title. That was based strictly on what they had heard, not anything they saw. But, after listening to the top 4 from 1980 at least 300 times, Devils won that show. 1 Quote

Now were they the best on Finals night over SCV? Tough call. Only winning by .2 and their performance was slightly off from that killer semi performance, but I still think they deserved it. My personal opinion is that SCV was in first until Scouts hit that massive low brass chord at the start of Malaguena-proper. From there to the 5 to 5 finishing move, Scouts moved in front and stayed there. 1 Quote

The weird tie breaking format gave Bush the “win” not the judges. i was there. in 5th place. and while the tie breaker rule was stupid, it was a rule the corps voted for. including the one that lost Quote

Jokingly of course.... maybe not so much about my contra comments. Lol!!!!! Quote
