1977

[DAvery]

The Kingsmen and VK were both from the city of Anaheim in Orange County. Their corps halls were across the street from each other.

I guess that means they were from the same county then!

...How much was in issue of "Drum Corps News" in '77?

...How much was an issue of "Drum Corps World" in '77?

...How much was a ticket to DCI finals in '77?

Drum Corps News was $.60.

DCI finals tickets were $7.70.

I was hoping somebody else knew how much Drum Corps World was in '77. Drum Corps Digest was defunct and Drum Corps America had morphed into The Marching Musician.

Now.......who knows how much admission was to Elitch Gardens?? or Casa Bonita?? B)

...Whose guard had huge sabers?

Freelancers

...Who took 4th place in drums, while the corps took 8th place?

Freelancers and Optimists tied for 8th, but niether were 4th in drums. If you are counting Bridgemen in the placement, then Cavies were in eight, but they weren't 4th in drums either.

So, what's your point?

I stopped counting after first. :P

27th had pom-pons.

In 77, we had sabres (Stewie's Angels) and rifles to compliment the flag line. I think it was the sabres in 77 that did the pom-pom thing during "Can Can", but with no sabres in 1978, I think the rifle line did it.

My memory is creeping up on me...I need to pull out my 30 year old program books to confirm

As for unis, in 1977, our drumline wore the kakhi shirts during prelims of several shows, but wore the white jackets at finals of the same shows only. In 1878, they wore the white jacket only.

...Which top-25 corps had a uniform change in '77?

Dubuque Colts and Watkins Glen Squires had complete uniform changes IIRC.......
