I'm going to be honest here. There are always going to be rumors and allegations, but the truth is that he was playing an extremely challenging peice with a G6 on a G Bugle! that is Arturo Sandoval type stuff. He just had too much pressure and was playing an extremely challenging peice on an inefficient horn. I wish I could get even close to playing that piece! He is an amazing player that had a little mistake. That didn't change who he was and I hope he understood that. He did a great job in the semifinals though. I wish the best upon him.

Jack Meehan's book, "Space Music", devotes a paragraph appropriately clarifing the back story behind this solo/duet mishap on finals night. Jack Meehan was the brass guru who took over calming down and rebuilding the hornline into an amazing horn dynasty for the next 11 years, arguably the BD hornline's golden era. (His son John took over as Caption Chair in the 2000's) He felt that the solo was too risky and over exposed for the talented yet inexperienced young man, putting too much pressure on him for one moment of the show. But his caution was overrriden by the ego of the horn caption chair who thought otherwise. So ultimately it set the stage for failure to eventually happen - all the pressure on this one individual's shoulders finals night, missing the ridiculously high note and technically difficult descending intervallic passage that followed. Too bad for the young man who deserved to have a more positive experience that night, instead of feeling like he let down the corps.😢

I marched Star that year. On Finals night, I volunteered to be the "horn guard" outside the stadium...even from there I heard what happened...and the gasps. When BD came out and huddled up, he walked over to the curb and sat down alone for a while. We had watched him kill it all season...we loved that chart and the solos/duets...

I wasn’t there but in HS band we played Les Mis. I know I know not drum corps but same kind of thing, the soloist blew it at our championships. I felt terrible for him and same thing he nailed it all yr. The following year though he got his redemption. He was alone after the show for a while.All that aside one of the great ballads oat.

Goodhardt judged us many times in 1980. (Spirit of Atlanta) He came on the field and congratulated us after a late season show. Tom had cleaned the mess out of our show and we were ready for finals. Took top execution and tied for the Sanford at finals. Memories. This is a great tape. Thanks for sharing. Loved the 86 Devils.

No, they gave High Percussion (way before the trophy was named for F. Sanford) to the Bridgemen. They broke the tie by including GE Percussion. I wonder if that was a rule…

@@ImVee10 Not until that year in 1980. No tie happened before that year. They had to break the tie on the field, so Bridgemen had an edge in that caption, so the tie on the field was broken. We won execution with less errors in the field, which was a win to us even though the trophy went to Bayonne. Memories.

@@DennisJohnsonDrummer “Not until that year.” Meaning, it was in place before championships, or they decided to break the tie that night? DCI has changed its rules way too many times. Four years later, there was a three-way tie for high brass, and it stood.

I cannot believe what I’m about to say about a Blue Devils performance; gack, that was absolutely horrible I expect so much better from the BD. The chart was boring. The soloists cracked and out of tune. The whole performance was lack-luster. As I said, in my almost 50 years in drum corps I thought I’d never say anything negative about the Blue Devils.

Way back in high school, my band director only had the semi-finals tapes from 1989, so this is the only performance I ever knew of for years. The first time I heard him hit that high note, my jaw dropped. Such an amazingly talented player. It's really too bad that DCI didn't believe in "revisionist history" as far as the finals tapes were concerned back then. Today, they edit stuff all the time, putting in stuff from semi's, etc. I just feel so bad for that dude.
