One might say the "curse of the 7th place" didn't end until '78 with 27th. It just took a double dose, '76 and '77, to effect the Cavies in '78.

#1 SCV beat BD and 27th had much better "Rocky" music

#2 Bridgmen had better "Pagliacci"

#3 "Appalachian Spring" ends softly?

#3.5 WELCOME BACK MY FRIENDS TO THE SHOW THAT NEVER ENDS
