silvertrombone Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) It is what it is, and ain't nothing else. Undefeated. Throw in caption sweep for a really incredible corps. Drum corps is drum corps, not the symphony and not MLB. Good discussion, good comments, but limiting it to the major regionals kind of sells it short--it's a long summer, every season is unique, and a corps/show for the ages seems to come about every year or two. A truly remarkable corps comes along about every 5-10 years. So undefeated is pretty remarkable. Good thread! Edit: Oh, and we did US Open in '94, so it was probably still there in '96--but I couldn't see what the big deal was. Like the guy said, when DCI came about, USOpen lost prestige for whatever. Edit: Oh, oh--I get to say something and sound really old!! I would say Circuit (DCEast/Midwest, etc), Preview of Champions, Championships. Do I get it right??? I think that could apply for D2 and D3 also, yes??? Edited March 11, 2007 by silvertrombone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appleknocker Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 If you wanted to imagine a true Grand Slam, or Triple Crown, it would have to be one of these two, CYO or World Open,....along with American Legion and VFW Nationals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
