mobrien Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 A sidebet could be on the first DCI finalist to march a marimba (since 27th missed the cut in '74). That distinction would go to Seneca Optimists in '76, who marched a set attached to what appeared to be a 45 year old guy.... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scerpella Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Well I marched with a Jesse Marimba in 1972 so I believe that settles it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobrien Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 More keyboard trivia (of the 'what were they thinking?' variety). One finalist corps in '78 marched three keyboards but only two keyboard players. Nothing was grounded, so all three keyboards were in motion the entire show. Any guesses?...

ScribeToo Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I only know one corps that had an "air marimbist" and I think that was in 1979.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the goofier when you consider that you were ALLOWED to march 3 or 4 mallet players in '78, so didn't need to 'economize' that way.
