The 'No Vocal AMEN' is referring to the 1977 Garfield Cadets. The '77 Cadets closed with 'I Don't Know How To Love Him' from Jesus Christ Superstar, and the program ended with a sung 'Amen' before a sop solo. At Finals in Denver, they were ticked a full point because the rules at the time stated that no one except the DM could vocalize during a performance. That tick dropped them to 12th.
That's it. Nothing sinister, nothing atheistic, nothing to do with a pre-performance prayer.
@PogoPantheon As far as I know, at competitions you are not allowed to have ANY organized sound (singing, chanting, playing instruments) before their performance or it's a penalty. So apparently they got a penalty for saying "Amen" after a prayer or something.
@luke55698 - No. PR got 2nd place that year for 2 reasons:
1) SCV finished 2nd in '85, '86, '87, & '88. They weren't going to put them in 2nd, even with a weaker, recycled version of the previous year's show. (Which actually DESERVED to win.)
2) The percussion performance judge was known for years to be a hater of PR and dumped on them by half a point. This ridiculously biased score, by itself, handed SCV the title. This judge had never liked PR & so guaranteed they couldn't win.
@luke55698 yes...we dont pkay the games others do to get what the need...its like getting screwed time and time again...without a kiss...IT WAS LONG TIME OVERDUE
he WORKED for phantom. Sam Pilafian/Pat Sheridan did a ton of work shops for the breathing gym at different corps. I know that they worked with Phantom for sure. But their main corps was with Academy.
Gotcha. I was just curious, they were the teachers of my tuba professor, Deanna Swoboda, at Western Michigan University. Thanks for the information. =)
The ironic thing is, people in GARFIELD thought they'd lost!! They felt their prelims show was better. It was just as much a shock to them as it was to us....just less painfull!
its..... pretty funny.... it just works better on cats to me... i guess i just view cats as so cute that the bad grammar works, but i view corps as being so... macho, i guess would be a good word here, that the bad grammar just isnt funny.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
well look.
if people did the same thing with like baseball, like put stupid picture of some baseball player making a mad face and under it put 'GRRZ I IZ MAAD.' it wouldnt be funny. at least not to me. so in tern, this is the same amount of unfunny.
