socalcontra Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Loosing by .1 in 1984. If it had been Garfield's 49th or 51st year, I'd have ring #2. One of the best years BD ever got 2nd place in. Listen to the end of each show when the corps is re-announced. I'd have to say our ovation was longer and louder than Garfield's. I also felt bad for my SCV friends when they lost in '87 the same way. If they only had pulled out a large ring instead of a girl at finals-they probably would have brought the house down.

dmfootworks Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Well, many people know about 1977, but I'm not sure if you've all read my version of the story. (from another thread). I believe it has been discussed on DCP several times before. So, here's the story, as I know it, and remember it. Thanks for sharing. Very interesting, and moving. Wishing you happy times with your old Bridgemen! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmfootworks Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 The 1989 season. After the excitement and balance, the wonderment and innocence of 1988 . . . 1989 gave us: -- Madison not being allowed to go on last as defending champ (and thus not appear on the live telecast), breaking a long tradition -- SCV bringing back a more muscular but less emotionally impactful Phantom of the Opera -- an inflated SCV score on a show that was not especially clean -- the disruption of score announcements between third and second place to announce a McDonald's drum major of the year award -- Curt Gowdy -- The Blue Devil frack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
