dusti Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 All of the 1979 Boston Crusader performances with that incrediable 25 man horn line, l played lead Bari. Made all the DCI finals except the nationals that year My first competition in 1968 with the Norwood Continentals, Norwood Mass My first competition as member of the Boston Crusaders 1978 My last competition as a Boston Crusader in 1979 1974 Kilties world open championships in Lowell Mass when the sprinklers came on and they didnt miss a beat. 1975 Madison, SCV and Blue Devils at the World Open and CYO Nationals in Boston and one more 1975 Hawthorne Muchachos performance at the CYO nationals when the drum executution judge shook each of the drumlines hand after the performance on a perfect show in execution. That performance rocked big time I know there is more but those performances stand out among many many since then.. some were defining changes to the drumcorp world Dusty G 1968-70 Norwood Continentals 1970-77 21st Lancers Norwood Ma 78-79 Boston Crusaders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denverjohn Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 1969 VFW Nationals : Execution Integrity: Kilties Drums, Cavies Horns, Troopers M&M GE: All three! 1970: Trooper finesse and GE beats old-school Blessed Sac, Boston Crusaders, Garfield, et al. 1973-74 SCV raises the bar on musicality to beat old-school Troopers. 1988 Finals. The last show where members determined the outcome. Madison's execution, excitement, and determination overcame the superior design of SCV. 1983-85 Garfield renaissance thanks to transitionless amoeba form design coupled with great charts and playing. I thank my stars I saw and heard it all live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnweldy Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 1st drum corps video I saw: 89 Madison Scouts "make his praise glorious" That was one show I never got. "Let's see...I think we should start out with Sandi Patti. What can we follow it up with? Oh, I know...Slaughter on 10th Avenue!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnweldy Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 (edited) 4. Star...leaving ;( A lot of people may say that with tongue in cheek, but Star leaving DCI and creating what eventually came to be Blast! has gotta be one of the top 5 most defining moments for corps. And it's a win win. I see Blast! as a gateway drug. When my friends ask me about corps, it's the first thing I give them. If they like that, out comes a current year DVD set...usually 2003 (IMO top 4 are all great for newbies). Once they're hooked, out comes the hard stuff...like Suncoast Sound and Sky Ryders.

thederek Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 That was one show I never got. "Let's see...I think we should start out with Sandi Patti. What can we follow it up with? Oh, I know...Slaughter on 10th Avenue!" I've actually never seen the whole show..I just remember that we watched the opener on the first day of high school band camp my freshman year because we were playing that as our opener as well. We did a Scouts tribute of sorts that year, make his praise glorious, you'll never walk alone, and jesus christ superstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
