The commentary is a result of them trying to sell the activity as a sport during this era. It's not a sport. It's certainly athletic, but you have no control over what the other "teams," in this case, corps, do on the field...unlike real sports.
The guest commentator was Rob McConnell, legendary valve trombone player and jazz composer. He did at one time play with Maynard Ferguson. One interesting note, he was the composer of the chart Blue Devils used for their opener in 1982, T.O.. He wrote it in honor of his friend and Toronto jazz radio disc jockey Ted O'Reilly.
People people people...that is CERTAINLY not Maynard and it's not Chuck. It's some dude that I'm not sure who he was, but he had poofy hair. I think his name was Jim. Jim something. I recognize his voice. Maynard's voice was much higher pitched and he punctuated everything with "Yeeeeah"....and Chuck sounded stoned half the time. :-) That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
@derek1983PR - The analyst on this video is NOT Chuck Mangione. It is Maynard Feguson. Chuck Mangione was the analyst in 1983 along with Broadway choreographer Pat Burch. Just FYI.
That was the most ANNOYING thing EVER, we were always taught not to "talk during a show" and here they are destroying it.
