Rocketman Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 O.K., that may be the line-up, but now I'm just curious as to what this "twist" thing is going to be. Come on DCI! A Friggen Tie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aatlb25 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 1995 CavaliersThe championship show from one of DCI's best years. Cavaliers are one of my favorite corps, but I simply love their work in the 2000's, and would liked to have seen them represented in that decade. Good choice, but not great. I personally am not upset with this, this is one of my favorite Cavaliers shows of all time, and I personally like it just as much as their 2000 shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixh Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 (edited) Wow..I'm really sad to hear you say this about Bridgemen? Why? Because VK always seemed to mock Bridgemen, I watched the 90 show of VK last night and realized that when they fell down at the end and some of the other antics they did...Bridgemen did it first. Plus it was mostly Bridgemen's staff who went to VK. I don't know why you say that you feel that some think todays corps are sacriligious...but..I'm more puzzled why you don't like this show? Don't you realize if it hadn't been for Bridgmen...there would..oh never mind...But Bridgmen made it because they had alot of support, plain and simple. :) I personally would've liked 1977 Bridgemen to make it and question what happened there cause it seemed like the votes were headed for that year more then the 80 show. I, personally, haven't said anything regarding Crown and Coats making it but once you see Bridgemen on the screen I think you'll change your mind. Oh and you said you never saw 27th Lancers..if you went to the show last year you saw 1980 27th Lancers and I seem to remember you saying you liked it... :P I just don't understand why some people aren't realizing that this should be considered a history lesson for drum corps instead of who didn't make what...I'm sure DCI will do this again. I already laid out why Suncoast didn't make it...too many people voting for too many different shows... See you at the theater.. :) I tend to judge most performances based on the hornline.....for some reason the 80 Bridgemen was not as clean or in your face as much as 78.....the Bridgemen were just coming out of their disqualification year and they were absolutely changed...the way they handled Ritual Fire Dance and started in that arch in center front field will be imbedded in my mind forever....I hope the 78 performance one day makes it to the Classic Countdown B) Edited February 18, 2006 by felixh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancerFi Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Lancer Fi, were the 27 rifles in the red jackets yet in '75, or were they in khaki?My memory does go back that far.... :( In Red with black skirts. In 76 we went to pants so that we could lay down, and added a saber line with red in 77. Actually the 27th rifle line were never in Khaki shirts as far as I remember. My sisters wore white shirts and black skirts-rifles, sabers and flags wore the same thing until the Red Jackets except for I think 1972 when the flaglines blouses/shirts were lime green-the 6 trick flags wore all black. When the rifles went to red and busbys, the sabres and flags were still in white shirts. I'm thinking the flag line went to khaki shirts in 75 maybe. (it could have been 74 but I don't think so) But I'll look back to confirm!! Wow, aren't you glad you asked. Guess it wasn't as cut and dry a question as one might have thought... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I look at the overall effect like what the color guard was doing as well. I used to just base a show on the horn line, being a horn person myself, but when I went back and studied 27's color guard, I became in awe of what they did and started watching the whole show's of corps ever since then. :) But in this 80 show..it was simply entertaining all the way through to me. I also hope 78 Bridgemen can make it in the future... Edited February 18, 2006 by Lancerlady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomguy Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 (edited) yes CROWN and BLUECOATS out. SUNCOAST and TROOPERS IN. and the crossmen will get 8th just like your 2006 prediction says...

PR_ducky Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I am thinking the "twist" is that we will now get to vote / rank the twelve selected corps to determine order of finish. would be cool to have another round of voting and for everyone to rank them 12-1 and have a retreat type thingy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomR Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 yes CROWN and BLUECOATS out. SUNCOAST and TROOPERS IN. mhm. and what show from the 2000's would you put Troop and Suncoast in? I was thinking about eliminating Star 93, and replacing Star 90... and maybe Cavies 95, with Cavies 91. ~>conner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
