84BDsop Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 If I remember correctly, several holes suddenly appeared in a few other corps right about that same time. The rumor was that other "suspicious birth certificates" suddenly started showing up. Of course, I was a rookie that year, so how much did I REALLY know.... ^0^ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now THAT I'd never heard before.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIHasBeen Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 (edited) Actually Santa Clara never filled the holes ... One was in the horn line, the other was a snare drummer (as I recall he went back home and marched DCUK right afterwards as the go up to 25 there.) Vanguard's sitch not withstanding, being disqualified basically makes the kids pay for the irresponsible actions of the parents. It sucks.

DCImonkey Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 The interesting thing about Bridgemen 77 is that they were DQ'ed after prelims, got a court injunction so they'd be able to perform on Finals night and later were ultimately disqualified after binding arbitration later in the fall. 1977 also happened to be the ONLY year in DCI that there were 13 Finalists....Garfield and Kilties tied for 12th place during prelims allowing that extra corps to compete. HOW CONVENIENT! HMM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you figure? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not getting to compete in finals or having their finals score thrown out after working their ##### off all summer long is how legitimate junior corps members "pay" for the irresponsible actions of the staff (if they knew of overage members) AND the parents of those overage members as they know full well their "real" birthdates. Not to mention the overage members themselves who knew full well they shouldn't have been marching to begin with.

KungFuCharlie Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 (much like porn producers weren't penalized when it was found that Traci Lords had been workming with a forged ID and had, in fact, been underage for her entire porn career) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, she made one movie after she was of age.

drumlaw80 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Fyi, in 2000, the San Francisco Renegades played a show entitled A Renegade Suite: The music of every corps ever kicked out of DCI. It featured music from the Muchachos, Bridgemen and the Crossmen. ^0^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
