JimF-LowBari Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Instead of hijacking another thread anymore thought I'd start a new one. Back in the Day :P of record albums (them flat black thingies with a hole in the middle) 12 corps would be recorded for DCA every year. Seemed like every few years DCA would change how recording the 11th and 12th place corps would be done. I'm trying to fill in the blanks and this is what I know for sure (IOW - I was there at the time and my memory still works :sshh: ) 1974 - 11th and 12th place corps competed. Hanover and Emmaus scored in the mid 40s and think that was the last time 12 corps competed at Finals. 1976 - 11th (Westshoremen) and 12th (Guelph) did a stand still in front of the mics before the gates opened for Finals. 1985 - 11th and 12th (Westshoremen) did a pre Finals exhibition. Any blanks filled would greatly appreciated for historys sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Ream Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 back to the 80,s, as far back as i can remember, everyone performed a pre show exhibition before the fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayre Kulp Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Sky did the "judged exhibition" in 2003. What a crock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 all concerns about placement aside, this is about discussing whether you performed before fans, or like Shore in 76, you just played to the mics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalieguy Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I know the first 3 years I went to DCA with MBI, we did an unjudged exhibition at Finals to fill out the records. 77,78,79. I think that trend continued until they started doing CD's.. I still know that MBI was on the records in '87 and '90, the years we finished 11th, and we always did the entire show. Anyone verify when that practice ended? Must have been just recently. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Thanks all, especially Pat since I was too busy for some reason :P to see the beginning of Finals in the late 70s. Will have to check my album/tape collection to see what was going on in the way of recording. One of the late 90s DCA was never released... Will probably have to give a yell out for any Boys of 76 or Guelph to find out about 1975 as I just can't remember #### about the start of Finals. Guess the monsoon at the end drowned my memories. :sshh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumo27 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Sky did the "judged exhibition" in 2003.What a crock. Hey, I don't remember, but why does it show Carolina Gold with a higher score than you, and they're in 13th and you were in 12th? 12 80.763 New York Skyliners 13 81.063 Carolina Gold and you're complaining? Those are the rules, Sayre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hey, I don't remember, but why does it show Carolina Gold with a higher score than you, and they're in 13th and you were in 12th? 12 80.763 New York Skyliners 13 81.063 Carolina Gold and you're complaining? Those are the rules, Sayre. From the DCA website: Prelims 12 Skyliners 81.300 13 Carolina Gold 81.063 Finals EX Skyliners 80.763 That would be why.

bumo27 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 So let's see, Sky got a lower score than Carolina Gold got in PRELIMS, and Sayre is complaining that he actually had the HONOR of performing for the finals crowd? GIMME A BREAAAAAAK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
