melloageout07 Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 (edited) I'm curious as to why the bridgemen were disqualified in 1977. Thanks for the help. Edited December 14, 2003 by ColtsMelloguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byline Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 This has been discussed extensively in a recent thread in the "Historical Drum Corps Discussions" forum. But here's a web page that details what happened: A Bit of Bridgemen History Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byline Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 (edited) Moderator, can you make a "hot link" to the Historical forum? I cannot seem to find it on here. Dave has linked to the actual thread. But you can find the "Historical Drum Corps Discussions" forum linked at the top of the page in the "General Junior Corps Discussions" forum. The thread is called "1977 Bridgemen" and can be found here: 1977 Bridgemen Here's a link to the "Historical" forum: Historical Drum Corps Discussions Edited December 15, 2003 by byline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That70'sLancer Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 (edited) I marched 1977, and the impression most people got was this; Bridgemen were wrong to march overaged members, DCI was wrong to wait until finals to call them on it. The shock was such that apparently a bus driver of theirs had a heart attack. They were allowed to perform at finals, and would have placed 4th, if they had not been disqualified. So the 27th Lancers got their 4th placing instead. This is where I first saw 27, and made up my mind that I would be there in 78. Too bad. It was a great Bridgemen show. The good news is that it apparently is included as an extra on the 1977 DVD. :) Edited December 15, 2003 by That70'sLancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
