jjeffeory Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 (edited) In a couple of days many of you are going to witness one of the most famous moments of drum corps singing: The 1984 Garfield Cadets! Mind you, this was UNPLUGGED, and not drum speak. How many more corps can we come up with that use voice in their shows? I'll start with unplugged drumcorps singing: Garfield 1984 Blue Devils 1984 Cavaliers 1990 Velvet Knight 1992 There were more in the 80's, but I can seem to remember. Freelancers 82? Also, do you like it when a drum corps sings? Edited April 26, 2006 by jjeffeory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jocko the Wonder Llama Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 If my memory serves me, I seem to remember Garfield singing "Amen" at the end of their show in '78 or '79. I also seem to remember a photo of the corps at DCI prelims, holding their hands over their mouths, while the Drum Major pointed to a sign that read: "Sorry, no verbal Amen due to one point penalty" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Devils did not sing in 84....we were GOING to sing a bar or 2 that mimicked the mini-gongs in the pit in Karn Evil 9, but it never made it to the field...BD DID sing that same part in 85...that might be what you're thinking. 1984 was the first year on field vocals of ANY kind were allowed to the corps in general. Previously, it was restricted to DMs and other field commanders. Best singing is still 85 Freelancers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
