JimF-LowBari Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 To add to Bens surprise I found out about Westshores first DCA win via telephone. (Ben - it was my ride buddy Paul Gieger). Paul strung me out by listing the corps starting from last place. When he got to "In first place" he paused until I realized "Holy ####, he didn't say Westshoremen yet"... Front page of Drum Corps News had a huge picture of the corps with big ###ed type saying something like "Westshoremen win Cifton by...". The size of the heading was DCNs way of showong something shocking had happened. Had to be a weirder feeling then when we won our first RCA show back in 1977....

JimF-LowBari Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 and yes, I have that DCN....Westshore Wins Clifton by 5.25 Too bad DCN ran out of room for the next line on that headline It was supposed to be: WESTSHOREMEN WINS CLIFTON BY 5.25 WTF?!?!?!?!? ^0^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabstuba04 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) 1982 was the first time I had finished last in a show with more than 5 corps in it. It was the first time the corps had admitted female members, it was the first time I had finished 6th in the prelims, There were alot of firsts. Dan Mcbride's first drill with us. Oh yeah that last place finish was in the show in Rutgers the Dream contest. 1982 an interesting season. We finished 4th in finals. It was one of the best finals performances I had ever been part of. DCA had some very good corps that year. We struggled out of the box that year our achilles heal was our percussion section. By the time the DCA came around they were holding their own and we made a run. There haven't been many years in the last 30 that we haven't made a run. Some of the bigs corps now weren't active or around back then. 1982 plenty of good memories. was a building stone for the next decade. I'm sure there are plenty of members of DCP that remember or their parents have relayed stories to them about the early 80's in DCA LOL Mike Ryan Cabs 1975-2006 Edited February 15, 2006 by Cabstuba04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
