MikeBob Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 What an amazing photo. When was this taken? 1992, for DCI's 20th anniversary. They had a ceremony at Finals with all of these people, trotting out the old uniforms of member corps of the past and present. Kind of a big deal that night. Some notes: Pacific Crest is not represented. They didn't even exist until 1993. The old Freelancer cadet (in the middle, 1.5 from the end), worn in this picture by former marching and staff member Greg Morgan, was grey. In context, that old Star uniform doesn't stand out quite so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stxmoose32 Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 The source I took this from said that it is a member from each corps that has participated in DCI Finals, since its creation in 1972. Then again, they also said it was from 1997 (25th Anniv.), which contradicts MikeBob, so I'm not really sure what is right. Pretty cool nonetheless I would like to know a little more about it though. Whose idea was it? How did they pick the people? Where did they get the old uniforms from? I can just imagine.... (Email to Corps X Alums) "Hey guys, If anyone has an old uniform hanging around that they can still fit in, and wants to participate in this Anniversary picture, shoot me an email back. Whoever has the oldest uniform wins. Later DCI" (end email) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, seriously, they must've just done it again in '97, then, because that would explain the Glassmen uniform (since their first year in Finals was '93). If that's Kevin in the Glassmen uniform, though, he ought to be able to clarify things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFanti Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 (edited) Hey, I've been working on this all afternoon. I've edited it about 4 times. This is kinda fun. I think I have a couple corrected (i tried to include links to photos when I could find them). I am still missing a couple corps that should be pictured but I'm not sure if my "blanks" are them? Seneca Optimists and Belleville Black Knights are a mystery. I'm still stuck on B7... hmmm... anyway - here are my guesses T1 = Crossmen T2 = Carolina Crown T3 = Glassmen T4 = Magic of Orlando T5 = Spirit of Atlanta T6 = Sky Ryders T7 = Suncoast Sound T8 = Star of Indiana T9 = Velvet Knights T10 = Purple Lancers T11 = Guardsmen T12 = Bluecoats (Tom Bosse I think - Why no helmet in the photo?) T13 = Black Knights? Not enough detail on the sleeve and the pic is cut off!! M1 = Kilties http://www.corpsreps.com/pictures/1972KI~1.jpg M2 = Bleu Raeders M3 = Colts M4 = Blue Knights M5 = Phantom Regiment M6 = Dutch Boy M7 = Commodores http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/mell...commodores1.jpg M8 = Des Plains Vanguard http://www.desplainesvanguard.com/dpv_phot...os/14_1975l.jpg M9 = North Star http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Promenade/1757/2duet.jpg M10 = Finleyville Royal Crusaders http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e55/oldo...ers1973USOp.jpg M11 = St. Andrews Bridgemen http://www.bridgemen.info M12 = Freelancers http://www.corpsreps.com/pictures/FrLc78R.jpg M13 = Muchachos http://www.corpsreps.com/pictures/Much75S.jpg M14 = Blue Devils B1 = Blessed Sacrament Golden Knights http://www.bsgoldenknights.org/ B2 = Madison Scouts B3 = Troopers B4 = Santa Clara Vanguard B5 = Garfield Cadets B6 = DeLaSalle Oaklands http://www.delasalle-drumcorps.com/ B7 = No Clue- NOT Seneca Optimists, Boston Crusaders or Black Knights B8 = Blue Rock http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e55/oldo...k1973USOpen.jpg B9 = Argonne Rebels http://www.corpsreps.com/pictures/ARG68CP.jpg B10 = Anaheim Kingsmen B11 = 27th Lancers B12 = Blue Stars Seneca Optimists http://www.optimists-alumni.org/photos/alb...eca_Drums_2.jpg Edited August 5, 2006 by KFanti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown is represented by the 1996 drum major uniform. I remember seeing something like this from 1992, but this picture isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing something like this from 1992, but this picture isn't it. Yes. That and the presence of a Glassmen uniform confirm that I was wrong to say it was the '92 pic. There is a '92 pic floating around out there from the first (?) time this was done, but this one, as you say, isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they take a pic or have a ceremony that year? I remember a HUGE multimedia performance at the Age Out ceremony in Madison but I don't remember a "Parade of Finalists" like in 92. That would explain Boston in the front row (B7) EDIT: duh. The image title is dci97.jpg - so it must be from the 25th Anniversary. Boston didn't make finals until 99 right? Can't be BAC. Wait - What year did Majic forst make finals? This is confusing. Edited August 5, 2006 by KFanti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuCharlie Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 '97 would make sense because Colts, Glassmen, Magic and Crown had not made Finals yet in '92. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
