LancerFi Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 man i didnt mean for this thread to turn into a bunch of bashing other people's corps or disrespecting anyone or anything. i alos didnt want it to become a discussion of dci politics or bad judging, i just wanted people to state their oppinions on who they thought should have won and nothing more. not "oh man i wish i could change it." that's not right.somebody close this thread. PLEASE!!!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hold it one minute please, I thought I stated a very positive opinion, and I lived it. I can tell you that both me and LancerLegend have always not only had the utmost respect for the Blue Devils from the first time we laid eyes on them, but also deep down, I believe when I saw our staffs faces, including LancerLegend, I believe they knew we had not done it in 80. The best corps won, would I have loved to win, YES, but we didn't on that night....any corps from the East winning would have been grand, and it truly wasn't about us, but just the East in general! Having never had and Eastern corps win would have been beautiful, it would happen only 3 years later, with the main staff people from 2-7.....yes I believe we tore it up in Allentown that year, both prelims and finals, but in Birmingham, not even close, then to have to go on after Spirits' horn and drum lines, well, any corps would sound soft after that! However I had a great final show.... ^0^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancerFi Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 whoa Nancy, it's eerie you bring up that thread today, I wrote that exactly one year ago, on March 6th, 2004.*cues Twilight Zone theme* b**bs <{POST_SNAPBACK}> See, see what I mean....no matter what corps you marched for, whether you were head to head competition, or whatever, there is some sort of attachment that goes even deeper than just saying we all marched. Thanks again, and as I said it was a very generous gesture, maybe you thought that when you watched only because you had won so many times prior and felt bad for us? (I have to read that thread again...wow ha, the exact date 1 year apart)!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gem2497 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I'm surprised that no one has brought up 82 Phantom. I mean they were undefeated the whole season ^OO^ and come up 4th in the finals that year . I have met a few members of that corps and they have always believed that for some reason the judges did'nt like them. I mean it is hard to argue against. How many corps in the last 30 years have been undefeated all season and have not won DCI? If you check drum corps history you will find out it's happened more to Phantom than probably any other corps out there. Now let the mayhem begin b**bs Gerald Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charleschuchuta Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 It appears their 4th place finish didn't come out of nowhere, both SCV and Garfield beat them before finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixh Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 (edited) good point felixh. oh well guess i cant do anything about it now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's really not that bad. The posts I have been reading sound more like a love fest. But I can totally relate to thread hijacking.....I am guilty of that myself. :P Edited March 8, 2005 by felixh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now let the mayhem begin b**bs Gerald I'm sorry to continue to burst your bubble, Gerald, but you got me curious. I did some further investigation on frommthepressbox, and with exception of maybe 79 (I say maybe, because there is only one regional recap available and Phantom wasn't even there), there is absolutely not one single year where Phantom went into finals week "undefeated". Maybe you should check out some drum corps history, dude? That's probably not the "mayhem" you were lookin' for. ^0^ There might be more, but the only corps I can think of that fit that criteria, is 87 SCV, 88 BD, and 95 BD.

Blue Devil Legend Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Thanks again, and as I said it was a very generous gesture, maybe you thought that when you watched only because you had won so many times prior and felt bad for us? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Naw, had nothing to do with "you had won so many times prior".........I just felt that for everything 2-7 brought to drum corps (I've always been a huge fan of 2-7), it would have been nice to see you guys win, so with '80 being the best chance for that to happen, I chose that year as the one "I would give back". :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgk2779 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hold on folks. Don't y'all know the old expression - if you can't teach music, then you teach visual, and if you can't teach anything, you become a judge? And it's when you judge that people tell you how much you DON"T know !!!!!Luckily - I did teach first, and judged while teaching, continued to judge in NC, then more in Maine, and then went back to teaching a high school band here in Maine. Now if I start playing my clarinet again - I'll have come full circle. Hey BD Legend - that Mike Moxley guy - wow - his family was blessed with winning genes. His baby bro Tim took home a few trophies as DM of SCV. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
