RB Ripley Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Marauders had some very loud hornlines in both 86 and 92. Maybe not the cleanest, but definately fun to listen to. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They were REALLY loud in 1986! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancerlady Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 (edited) I'll throw in my usual old school love:'80 Rockland, MA Defenders - Many, many nice moments in this show. '81 MB3 - Hard to believe that this corps did not place higher. What a lush sounding horn line. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Funny you should mention that! I'm listening to 81 MB3 now and I agree with you! I also think 1982 wasn't so bad either! :P :) Oh and BTW if you get a chance, check out 1986 27th Lancers horn line...I thought Frank Dorritie and company did great with us that year and we were underrated (if I do say so myself)! :) :P Edited May 6, 2005 by Lancerlady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyASU Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 i gotta throw in my vote for BK '03. I thought this was definitely a corps that should have been in finals, and i loved their sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkelly21 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I know I am old school I guess. If you want to hear a magic hornline, playing on the old instruments, please listen to the Argonne Rebels any year around 1968 - 1971. They never marched that well and their shows just weren't quite good enough, but these people could play with any hornline in history. I would love to have heard them play with today's horns. Is anyone with me on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TicTickyTic Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 They were REALLY loud in 1986! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes. Loud. We were very loud. Our marching was pretty loud too. I don't remember where our '86 hornline ended up being ranked, but I do remember the pure joy I felt when 66 of us would "park it and market". '85 was a great line as well, but we had a fairly "backwoods" tour, and I don't think many people saw us. I am very proud of those years. The Marauders were looking like thay had a great future ahead of them at that point, but, like so many other corps, the adults mismanaged and misbehaved the corps into oblivion. They did manage to build themselves back into a contender in the early '90's with their pirate themed shows, but it seems that the grownups just had to mess with success again. Tragic.

Dave_G Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 the best non-finalist hornlines that I've seen: Blue Knights 2002 Blue Knights 2003 Capital Regiment 2004 Madison Scouts 2002 Seattle Cascades 2004 Southwind 2000 Spirit 2001 - yes I'm biased because I marched in that line, it was still a great hornline with a great brass book Spirit 2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp1955 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 84 Bridgemen loved that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomR Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 the best non-finalist hornlines that I've seen:Blue Knights 2003 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> BK made finals in 2003, just barely beating out the Glassmen. If not, they would definetly be on my list. ~>conner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiodb Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 BK made finals in 2003, just barely beating out the Glassmen.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Check again - BK and Glassmen both missed the 2003 finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiodb Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Surprised no one has mentioned 1982 Suncoast Sound. Possibly the most competitive hornline absent from a DCI final show was the 1972 Blue Rock. They weren't cut, though - they just did not attend championships. I'd cast my own vote for the 2003 Colts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
