CODI Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Keith: We are talking the World Open, not the U. S. Open. Keep trying. You may not have even been a twinkle in your father's eye. CODI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elphaba01 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) Hmmmmm don't know that one. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "World Open Revisited": The corps that discovered that they were actually IN the Wolrd Open Finals show was the old Connecticut Royal Lancers. This happened at the 1963 WO Preliminaries. The corps had departed the Roosevelt Stadium after prelims and went back home to Bridgeport Connecticut thinking they were in eleventh place.. The "Legend" says that they actually stayed together to practice that evening and were told then that they had made the night show. They proceeded to travel back to New Jersey, compteted in Finals, where they placed 10th. This, (The 1963 WO Prelims) believe it or not, was the first contest in which the Royal Lancers had ever competed. They had made the Finals of a National Championship contest. I believe there is a "record" of some sort here..... Elphaba WWW Edited September 17, 2005 by elphaba01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They performed at the National Dream Contest in August, and put on a nice show. Now who was the corps they knocked out of the finals? Do you know TX? I am sure you do, you know everything about drum and bugle corps, I'm sorry in your case drum and trumpet corps.

Blessed Sac won the first WO by beating Garfield and St. Kevin's by over 5 points. CODI <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
