Lancerlady Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 (edited) We did it in 79, then 80 in the OTL. So then Zingali was the innovator and not Emmons... :)? Edited October 15, 2005 by Lancerlady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malibu Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 So then Zingali was the innovator and not Emmons... :)? I would say Zingali was a true innovator and the one person who had a vision that started so many things to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdon15 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 So then Zingali was the innovator and not Emmons... :)? Thinking WAY back, many corps used to enter on one side of the field, then become symmetrical once they reached the center field area. 1974 Troopers come to mind. I'm not sure when it was that the entire show was performed asymmetrically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malibu Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 As far as entire show, '83 Cadets come to mind. Again credit that to Zingali (RIP). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancerFi Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 As far as entire show, '83 Cadets come to mind. Again credit that to Zingali (RIP). Yes, and I believe prior to that the SCV-whole show? and Crossmen-who did a whole song or 2? assymetrical as compared to our 32 count move in 79 & 80 must be thought of as the innovators until that 83 Cadet time. As they say, SCV began it, and Zingali ran with it. However Crossmen do not get the credit they deserve for this marvelous drill. Malibu sent me the video of it, and it's clearly ground breaking.....

audiodave Posted October 15, 2005 Author Share Posted October 15, 2005 what about the "walk over" who was the first hornline to step over a colorguard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancerlady Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hmmm...you mean it wasn't the Cavaliers in "Softly as I leave you?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiodave Posted October 15, 2005 Author Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hmmm...you mean it wasn't the Cavaliers in "Softly as I leave you?" no i don't mean that at all...i mean i don't know. was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malibu Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 no i don't mean that at all...i mean i don't know.was it? I could be wrong, but I think Cavaliers was the first to do the "walk over." They also were the only corps (top 12) to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytimp Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Santa Clara's 1980 drill is more than half symmetrical. The opener, the drum solo, and the second half of the closer all have an easily identifiable axis of symmetry. It's that the "Evita" build into the standstill formation is so startling, and the "curl" is so unusual, and the use of the "planets" calling and responding to each other in "Jupiter" is so unusual. That's the great use of asymmetry in the SCV show. I don't think there's ever been a DCI-level show that's 100% lacking in any identifiable axis of symmetry. SCV 1980 is an important show for a lot of other reasons, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
