1975 Finals


Recommended Posts

Looking at the recaps from DCI prelims,  I was amazed at the poor showing of the Kilties' horn line.  Seventeenth?!?  Ow!

Let me see if the Amazing Kreskin Z can recall '75 Kilts repertoire without consulting corpsreps.com--

OTL--The Third Hoorah (Tull before Garfield!!)

Concert--Roll Over Beethoven

Production--Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thang

Drum Solo--That Irish Washerwoman Baby

Exit--Auld Lang Syne

Someone give me my props, NOW!!!!

:D

Yep...as someone else reminded you...you forgot "O Fortuna" (from Orff's "Carmina Burana") in between "The Third Hurrah" and "Roll Over Beethoven." Also, the seventeenth place in horns may have had a little something to do with "O Fortuna." There were some pretty serious "phasing" problems toward the end, IIRC...

All in all, though, Kilties in 75 was - and is - one of this old phart's favorites! B)

OK, went to corpsreps-Oakland was 4th in Prelims, my memory is sketchy on that one, they were 7th in finals

Can't believe no one has caught this yet....

Oakland Crusaders were 6th in the 1975 finals.

Yeah, I saw it, but after making such a hoot over the original thing item, I didn't want to correct myself, although I should have!

The landscape was so very different from year to year back then....Althought 04 may be the beginning of something big!! :angry:

LOL! And then I repeated it! I guess my eyeballs were stuck on that seventh place overall in M&M. Oh, well. My only excuse is that I didn't march that year. :P

How about '75 BD (waiting for Rich K. to correct me!!!)

  Opener--Space Shuttle (yeah, Buddy Rich)

  Production--Tower of Power Medley

  Concert--Legend of a One-eyed Sailor

  Drum Solo--Field of Vision

  Exit--Chase the Clouds Away

Now, a true trivia master could tell me which DCI album had BD, 27th, Kilts and Phantom on it................................................. :P

I liked Royal Crusaders but wasn't sure they should have been in Top 12. I heard a rumor from a PR guy who had aged out that there was some "back room dealings" with Royal Crusaders that if they had the numbers they would make top 12 in 1975. They did make it but not sure if they should have.

Do you really want to believe that "back room dealings" would have netted you a 7th place prelims finish in 1975??? ^0^

Blue Devils' "Tower of Power" medley (didn't Freelancers do Tof P, too?)

PR's "American Overture"

Madison's "Mc Arthur's Park"

27th Lancer's "Chameleon"

Kilt's "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing"

.........and continuing another thread, didn't the aforementioned Oakland Crusaders cover "Malaga"????

Oh man, if only Sherman and Mr. Peabody's Way Back Machine actually worked!!!
