shostahoosier Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I hate to sound like I'm hatin on the younger ones...but it seems like the older members have a better perspective of which corps were rivals. It takes more then a season of trading scores to be a great rival (IMhumbleO). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure that it's a matter of perspective, but more the way corps was "back in the day"(This is simply an observation....not a "It Was Better Then" post!!!) Back when us "Older Guys" marched, corps were much more localized, with many members coming from the same nieghborhood, churches, schools etc.... It's been said elswhere that the old corps could be compared to gangs, and although that is quite a stretch, there probably is some truth to that statement. In some of the larger cities that supported several, if not many corps, the competition was almost a form of "Turf Warfare" You could find corps that just plain didn't like each other. Remember, this is when corps were a year round activity with most members hanging out together, going to school together and performing all year, so hard feelings could develop quite easily. I think with the way that members come from a much larger area now, that "gang mentality" has disappeared for the most part. That I feel, is a good thing!!

raphael18 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 forgive me, I didn't read every post prior, but did you forget Regiment and Cavaliers? I wouldn't describe it as a BD and PR rivalry - more of a mutual respect for what the other group can do, esspecially considering that they usually play so few shows together.

I was a member of the Glassmen, and I've never heard that rumor. Not everything you hear is true. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR_ducky Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 BD/SCV is a no brainer. When I marched in the 80s, all the midwest corps were high quailty and always at each others throats. PR/Cavs/Scouts/Star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PioGuyBW Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Rivalries:Mandarins vs. Pioneer I never heard this last year, or anyone even talking about it. I never considered the Manderins a rivalry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
