chasgroh Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Been out of town and just saw your post. Can't be a recording of us at VFW since we were not there! Where was the North American Open held? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...yup, you're right, of course. A mislabeling in my files *oops*...I'm still trying to reconstruct 70-71 due to an enforced vacation in the REAL green machine. Heh. Have you recieved that album yet, Paul?

ptr250 Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 I received the CD today and it is definitely the Racine show! I am so jazzed! Although it seems when they did the re-mix they toned down the crowd reaction you can definitely hear the cheers, whistling and applause (sometimes over the corps) from they very beginning of the show. At the end of the show when the announcer shouts “Wonderful show wonderful show, the Santa Clara Vanguard”, I knew it was Racine because that is a moment of my DC life I will never forget! It was truly the show that shocked the DC world and put SCV on the map! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 ptr 250 - are you SURE it was Racine? Because MY recording took place in Milwaukee - and you "spanked" every corps there, man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time we got to Milwaukee the word was out. As I said in my previous post the announcer shouting over the crowd, “Wonderful show, wonderful show, the Santa Clara Vanguard”, convinces me it was Racine!

RobH Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I'm thinking it was Milwaukee..................... And you guys were eye-watering, regardless of which town you were in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffernbus3 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 . I have 69 Racine, 70 North American, 72 Racine and 73 Oshkosh courtesy of Dale Johnson. I love to listen to the corps get better and better over those years in particular. I'll check 72 NA for "wonderful show" comment by announcer. Can't say enough about how much I like listening to the juniors of the, especially, early 70s. And I know it's not nostalgia....I aged out, well, got drafted, in 1967 and up until just a few years ago never really heard the 70s shows. Now I bet I listen to them most of all.
