Comments: 1974 saw Madison's horn line excel, and Troopers marching outpaced everyone. New to the top 12: The 1996 co-champions: Phantom Regiment & Blue Devils!! It's interesting to note that in 1974, the was also a very definite break between top 6 and bottom 6...a difference of 5.3 points! And then notice that 3 of the bottom 6 are in the 1996 top 6! Santa Clara took its 2nd straight championship based on strong GE, high drums, and excellent marching. 1974 Recap courtesy of Randy Gardner, as posted on RAMD.
