dc oldtimer Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) We've been discussing on the Cavalier Alumni site who holds the lowest score ever recorded. We really are not discussiing it to slam that corps, (although there were a FEW LOL's) we are discussiing it purely from a numbers prospective. The one we came up with was in 1981 in Madison 4.20, Los Charros (3.7 in M&M -- .9 in Percussion -- 1.1 in Brass -- 2.6 in GE -- 4.1 in penalties) Los Charros was a feeder corps in Illinois to The Vaqueros. Again, not looking to make fun, (well, maybe a little) just curious. Edited February 17, 2010 by dc oldtimer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I scored an 8.something in my first ever drum corps contest. Kitchener, ON 1987. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiodb Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Braintree Braves were reported to have scored a 1.9 (on class C sheets!) in Waltham, MA, on 7/24/1994, but I'm thinking that may be a typo. On the other hand, they were also reported as scoring 3.6 (again, on class C sheets) at Randolph, MA, on 6/27/1992, with a couple other outings scoring under 10 early that season.

Muchachos.... 1975..... after being ratted on by another Corps that withheld their knowledge of overage member in Muchachos with DCI until just before the SemiFinals competition that year , and thus this Corps received a " DISQ. " which technically is the lowest score a Corps can receive. This lowest score has been attained by just a few other Corps over the years ( ie, Bridgemen, Crossmen also come to mind that received the lowest score possible.... a " DISQ.)

blueorginal Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I seem to remember in the 75-76 years a show we marched that a small corps something like the marksmen or something from MI scored a 7 something without any penalties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, the Braves, I remember them. I was just a kid the last time they were out, but I remember them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll rephrase the question; Lowest score without being DQ'd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) Ah yes, the Braves, I remember them. I was just a kid the last time they were out, but I remember them. Yes, the Braintree Braves had I believe 3 marchers. Mom and Dad transported the Corps in the family Car, with the Corps equipment in the back seat or the trunk. ( Corps traveling expenses were the lowest and most efficient in the activity). Corps " camp " was held in the downstairs basement in winter, and in good weather, the front porch or parking pavement ( when Dad moved the car out ) The post show critique among the Corps marchers and staff must have made for interesting conversation as to what it would take to improve at the next competition. ( would anybody here be shocked if we found out that this was perhaps one hellava shrewed and legal ( but callous ) tax deduction for the family hobby, business, auto, home, etc ? ) Sometimes we think people are stupid and crazy. Then we find out, maybe they wern't as stupid as we thought. Just..... crazy. Edited February 17, 2010 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
