Malibu Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Never mind the horn being too high, is that Tracy with the flag at a really bad angle?? Wait.....that same rifle with the bad flag angle looks to be out of step too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A27Lancer Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Are you talking the #1 side closest to the 50? If so, no, not Traci, I'll PM you if you'd want to know. It is really amazing how people can look so much alike isn't it? No need to know who it is. 1979 was a truly amazing year for 27th. The season started with scores in the fifties and low sixties, and you guys were getting beaten by EVERYBODY!! I remember practically living at George B.'s that summer and Patti B. and I would wait by the phone during first tour dying to hear scores. Crossmen were beating you by ten points and consistantly, and non-finalists were finishing ahead of you. (Crossmen, BTW, ended up 13th in prelims). Second tour was a complete turn-around, as the corps really picked it up, especially in the visual captions, ending up tied for fourth in field M&M, and second in GE M&M. Fifth overall. I'd like to know (if anyone has time to scour "From the Pressox") if that is one of the biggest overall score improvements from the beginning of the season to the end!!

Yeah, unfortunately I remember that season very well! I do wished we had kept the show the way it was during 1st tour rather than changing 60% of our show including music and drill for the second half of the season. I can see tweaking here and there but not cut out a major portion of the show so late in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferb27 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Never mind the horn being too high, is that Tracy with the flag at a really bad angle?? oh my god, not tracy. must have been a bad toss. i do speak with her quite a bit (seeing as i only live 5 minutes from the bodie's). i'll have to address this faux pas with her. it's a natural grass field, so i don't think this picture is from finals. i'm sure by then she corrected the angle.

Jimmy, for two or three weekends straight from dce through world open we averaged a five point jump from the previous weekend. we went from a 55 in altoona (1st show on tour) to a 65 or 68 the next show and continued the slow climb back to respectibility thorughout first tour. we hit dce and we end up winning the show, then came world open a week or two later and and we were on a roll which continued through finals (well one minor glitch-CYO. Congratulations North Star). Edited March 15, 2007 by ferb27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about DCE !!- I rode down on a rented bus with parents and alumni. Jimmy DeSab and I were drinking White Russians at 6 o'clock in the morning (courtesy of Lucy and Mae). I think there were chicken cutlet sandwiches as well. The performance at DCE finals was AMAZING, and Bodie and I ended up hosting a victory party the following week that almost ended up with us getting evicted from that little house we rented a few doors up from the Wedges!!
