As of 71... VFW sheets had a 10 point GE caption...one judge. Execution sheets did include a difficulty sub-caption. In 71 the drum sheets had, I think, 17 points for tics and a 3 point difficulty buildup subcaption. That concept varied through the 70's as the separate Analysis captions came into being.

JimF-LowBari Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 What was the last year that "Czar" Tony (Forget the last name) ran the VFW Champs? From what I've read VFW sheets were set that way because "He said so!". OK I see 10 points for inspection - that answered one question Next question is why did VFW quit having Senior competition after 1962 (before DCA even started).

JimF-LowBari Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 4. CONTEST SITE: The contest field shall be in the shape of a football field 160 feet wide by 300 feet long, with the outside lines and the 50 yard line marked, with visual markers at each corner and at each end of the 50 yard line. LOL, forgot about mid-field stripe only. Anyone else remember the first time a show was run on a field with all the yard lines? That's when you found out that symetrical drill wasn't that symetrical at all (by up to 5 yards off at the ends). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best987 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I was at Nightbeat in Charlotte NC...........I know that I've been out of the activity for awhile.........however I do not remember the "Duts" from the drumline.....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGarrett Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I was at Nightbeat in Charlotte NC...........I know that I've been out of the activity for awhile.........however I do not remember the "Duts" from the drumline.....? well...you gotta listen carefully sometimes... unless it's Cadets :P ... for the duts. Usually the snare line will dut on the beat to keep it all in time. For a while there, duts became a real distraction...ruining the piece being played by some over-zealous dutters. Just my opinion, byut having been a snare drummer I guess I can speak up. In "The good old days" we didn't dut... and you can actually hear the bass drum beat out a four count on the '78 recording of the Guardsmen in the reprise and company front at the end of our show. Other ways to do it back then was to give a cowbell or a tambourine to someone... Another funny aspect of "dutting" now days is that apparently there is a precise way to do that...in the way you make the sound and how you make your mouth kind of tighten up and do a very stacatto "dut...dut...dut" ... it seems you must use your mouth JUST so ...or you are screwing up your duts... b**bs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran You forgot the "hic" between his first and last names. :P He tried to get us kicked out of VFW's in 70 because we had the nerve to make a Peace Sign on the field...to "White Rabbit".
