Kansan Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Was that the year you guys had the wreck in Minneapolis? I remember that happening one year..and a heck of a show despite the distraction.. Pat No, that was the year our buses were impounded in Boulder, CO. for a week. We missed out on more shows and money. It was in USA today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyRyder_FMM Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I just checked corpsreps.com and HOLY CRAP! Sky's hornline was 6th in finals in 82! I never knew Sky's hornline placed that high at one time. Pretty cool stuff. Year - Brass Placement 1982 ----- 6th 1983 ----- 8th 1986 ----- 10th 1987 ----- 12th 1988 ----- 12th Yeah, and what you don't see are their placements from semi-finals/prelims. 3rd in 82 and 6th in 83. Finals was not the best show either year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommytimp Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Yeah, and what you don't see are their placements from semi-finals/prelims. 3rd in 82 and 6th in 83. Finals was not the best show either year. Their hornlines were good, but didn't deserve to be anywhere near that high. I wouldn't vote for them on the countdown, but if I did, it would be 86. That's a great GE show there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancerlady Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) I just checked corpsreps.com and HOLY CRAP! Sky's hornline was 6th in finals in 82! I never knew Sky's hornline placed that high at one time. Pretty cool stuff. Year - Brass Placement 1982 ----- 6th 1983 ----- 8th 1986 ----- 10th 1987 ----- 12th 1988 ----- 12th I find it odd that some are saying they "didn't deserve to be there" when in 82 they were pretty dang good, I mean they made finals and their horn line was the best part (to me) of the show...anyway, this is interesting, even I didn't know they were that high in brass in 82 :).

That's a great GE show there. Of course it's all a matter of opinion, but all of the judging panels all summer long both years would disagree with you. They had most horn lines chasing them all summer. John Simpson was truly a gifted brass instructor. I don't remember the horn line's exact prelims placement in 81, but that line was a top 12 line in the middle of the pack as well despite an overall 14th place finish. I thought their horn lines were simply amazing those years. One of the reasons I decided to march there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssorrell Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 We toured with Sky Ryders a LOT in 1982, and I'll agree that their hornline WAS that good. If I vote for SR, it will be the 1982 season. I haven't thought about my voting choices yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malibu Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Blonde question here....do we know what corps made the list yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 If i vote Sky, and I really have no idea yet, I'm going with 1988. It's always been a favorite of mine. Not the best technical show ever, but crowd pleasing, and just fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
