First appearance in competition: 1976 Gurnee, IL

Woulda been at my first corps' home show.

First show was on June 1, 1974 in West Allis, Wisconsin (on a parking lot). We scored a 48 something. 2 months later, we were STILL scoring in the high 40s.

Last show was DCI Finals in Montreal in '81.

1st 1980 home show, "Romeo and Juliet" as a B class corps. We also played Appalachian springs, 2 years before SCV did. Mind you, THEY did it better! :P

Last 1987 DCI world championships, came in 26th, I think, in open class.

I hate to break it to you kiddo, but SCV played Appalacian Spring back in '76-'77.

BTW my first: Standstill at University of the Pacific - Stockton, CA '76

Last (junior): DCI prelims - Birmingham, AL '80.

I'm not surprised. Our most memorable show was "Superman" in 83. We later found out the X-men had done it years earlier as well. D'OH!

Last show DCI finals 1987 in Madison!!!!

My first show would've been the Ventures' show in Kitchener on June 10, 1978 (I know this because I actually still have the teeny-tiny tour schedule that Oakland printed out for us that year; I scanned it and enlarged it so that I could actually read the thing).

My last show would've been DCI prelims in Birmingham on Aug. 15, 1980. Normally, my last show would've been Canadian Nationals a week later, but as I recall, either they did not have that competition in 1980, or we chose not to go.

[bluecoats88]

First show (competition not standstill) was a show in Cleveland, Ohio in 1982 with Bluecoats. i believe we scored a 70 something in early june.

Last show with Bluecoats was DCI Finals 1988.

Last show performing (actually playing my instrument) was DCA finals in 1995 with Bushwackers. (In 1997 I taught the Grenadiers bass line and marched a Baritone hole, so that's why I stipulated actually playing instrument)
