I am listening to this recording in 2023 48 years after the performance. It is a shame of what happened to the Muchachos. I marched with the Muchachos in 1976 and it was never the same. They should have not been disqualified. They were not the only corps with members who were overage. They just unfortunately got caught

There is no doubt in my mind this is one of the greatest cores that ever existed. However, after listening them dozens of times I have come to the conclusion, all, I'm certainly no expert, that their second half of their show was a little sub power when compared to the Madison scouts. Scouts. I also don't think they're percussion section was quite up to snuff to win the national championships. Don't diss me, it's just my uneducated opinion

In my opinion, DCI is responsible for the demise of what was one of the greatest activities throughout the United States and Canada. They turned the activity into a marching band competition, superimposed on a three-ring circus. We no longer have real drum and bugle Corps. They should also stop using DCI, instead they should use, marching band international. MBI. DCI originally stood for Drum Corps International, again we no longer have real drum and bugle c o r p s. Marching band International, describes what it really is. And I have no offense with marching bands, that great.

DCI was wrong. At most, individuals could have been relegated. I've listened to this performance over and again since 1976. It was the basis of my desire to perform in drum corps, despite being a saxophonist, eventually leading to my rookout season with SoA '83, and DCA corps beyond that. The impact of this single performance was beyond whatever could have been imagined, beyond my own experiences or that of many others. Awesome, just that.

As I recall the corps was NOT DQ'd because they marched overaged members. They were DQ'd because the staff KNEW or at least should have known the several members were overage and competed with them anyway. The staff was trying to win by DELIBERATING cheating. That calls for a disqualification.

We won High Perc 77,78,79,81,82,83 with Dennis and also Brian Callahan, Rich Cesani, Jim Mallen, Dave China, etc. I believe in 1978 we scored a 19.6 out of 20 in field percussion. My last competition was 1983 DCA Finals. We won DCA, High Hornss,GE, and Percussion. We also had NO SNARE TICS in finals! What a way to retire from drum corps! An awesome time with awesome friends!

Just effing amazing. I tend to think Jim Brady (Bridgemen) was the best soloist ever, but man... if you listen to Kievit on this recording... make a choice I guess. I agree with the commenter that lauds Delucia's drum line - maybe best ever - if not it has to be Bayonne or Sandford's SCV, so Delucia is 2 out of 3 of the best ever, but man. Listen to 74 Muchachos and then immediately to 75. The brass line is 50% better in 75... so mature... like nothing ever to that point. I personally believe they would have topped Scouts that night, had they been allowed to compete. Someday I would like to see how many overage marchers were on the field with the 12 corps in finals. Not a conspiracy guy, but that DQ smelled like a barrel of old fish.

Yes, the Hawthorne Mucha his were a legendary corps, brilliant in every facet; brass, percussion, drill design and execution, and color guard. I consider them the1975 DCI champions regardless of the DCI judges disqualifying them because, allegedly, if an over aged drummer. Please tell me, how many other DCI corps that 1975 season were hiding overage members? I would venture to say it was several. The Muchachos performed one of the finest shows in both DCI, and in drum corps all time in 1975. They could have taken the field against their counterparts the Caballeros, an d very possibly defeated them with a brilliant performance such as this.

Best time of my life being with them. Did we win? Had a great shot at it. Personally, DCI waited till finals to disqualify. The age thing was bogus as many others as well marched over age. They could of said remove the person prior to finals, but they wanted to make an example of us. Oh, the rats? Cavies, and the slime that couldnt make our drum line and went to Cavies and gave them the info Splilled milk, but clearly a set up

They and quite a few other corps were warned prior to finals week. Just look at how many holes each corp had at prelims and finals. The Muchachos' director was the only one to flaunt the rules AND warning and marched the overage kids to the detriment of everyone else in the corps. I do feel bad for the rest of the members being punished for a director's bad decision.
@xkmendlt4290

I marched in a DCI championship corps and overage members were very common early to mid 70s. The biggest problem corps faced were those corps members that had falsified berth certificates. Back then directors didn’t have the resources to check every BC. Their were complaints to DCI for several years . DCI at that time didn’t have the resources to check every BC either. Finally DCI received several complaints in 1975 and decided to investigate. Unfortunately the Muchachos got caught. Blame goes to he Muchachos director for knowingly letting a overage member March in prelims. I feel bad for the rest of the corps who worked their ass off all season only to have it end this way. Everyone learned a hard lesson and it was the beginning of DCI and the corps eliminating the overage problem. The Muchachos would not have won in 1975. Brass, they were up there with Madison but were not quite as accomplished as Santa Clara in Percussion and marching execution. In fact, marching execution was a big weakness. Madison had the brass no doubt about it. Had vastly improved in percussion and marching execution. GE it a toss up between Vanguard and Muchachos. I still think Santa Clara got robbed and many that judged finals that night agree. Should have been. 1.) Santa Clara. 2.)Madison 3.) Muchachos. This of course had Muchachos performed in finals. No disrespect to the Muchachos. A fine corps in 1975.

Please not the corps fault. It was the Directors fault he left the person March prelims even though he was warned not to do do. Do that said ,since DCI did not like that director because no one tells him how to run his corps ,they were disqualified. If that man would have done his job and took care the innocent kids that corps none of this possibly would have happened at all. Sad that egomaniacal people have this need to be so NARCISSTIC. Ask the Garfield Cadets about it. Mr. Hopkins killed the Cadets 2and almost killed the Garfield Cadets also. People need to read Dennis Delucia s story. It's amazing.

Interpretation of age out rules have improved, and should have been changed back then, instead of penalizing the entire Corps and all the kids tat had dedicated them selves. Still, they impressed everyone and made history. Each 1975 member has something to be so very proud of the accomplishment they achieved. (None remembers who won or took second, but everyone remembers the year that Muchachos were disqualified, and started the rules changes for kids aging out)

I remember who took first, since I was a member of the incredible MADISON SCOUTS that year. WE took first, SCV took second, Blue Devils took third. We were undefeated that entire season. Should have won 1974 DCI, too. The rules had been in play for many years. We also beat Hawthorne at CYO Nationals a week earlier by THREE points. It was our year. It was unfortunate that Hawthorne broke the rules at the time. Would have loved to had competed with them and still win 1975 DCI that night.
