           1983 Liner Notes:  Orange Bowl- Miami, Florida.  The Garfield Cadets became the 
           first Eastern corps to win the championship, with an abstract drill that 
           redefined the genre.  The Cadets had tied the Blue Devils for the tops corps in 
           prelims.  Suncoast Sound placed in the finals for the first time, with a closer 
           featuring sign language.  The Cavaliers performed an opener specially comissioned 
           from an alum for its 35th anniversary.  The Bridgemen established a DCI record by 
           scoring 47.15 earlier in the year and still making finals.  
           Trivia fact:  The 20.65 point spread between 1st and 12th place corps in finals 
           is the greatest in DCI history.

           1982 Liner Notes:  Olympic Stadium- Montreal, Quebec.  The Blue Devils won all 
           23 contests it entered, becoming the first World Class corps in DCI history to 
           enjoy an undefeated season.  The Santa Clara Vaqnguard surprised everyone by 
           throwing in "Bottle Dance" during finals, creating an uproar in the audience that 
           drowned out the corps' ability to hear itself.  The Garfield Cadets moved up two 
           spots from prelims to become a first-time contender.  The Bridgemen won Best 
           Percussion for the third year in a row.  The Sky Ryders became a first-time 
           finalist with a large trademark rainbow prop.
           Trivia fact:  The 1982 finals was the first to witness all corps scoring over 
           80 points.

           1981 Liner Notes:  Olympic Stadium- Montreal, Quebec.  For the first time, half 
           the corps in finals scored in the 90's.  The grounded percussion front line "pit" 
           became popular.  The Blue Devils placed only .3 behind the SCV while finishing 9th 
           in percussion (1.6 behind SCV's line and 2.0 behind the Bridgemen).  SCV's 
           performance of "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" marked the third time the 
           corps had won with the piece in its repertoire (1973, 1974, 1981).  
           Trivia Fact:  The Santa Clara Vanguard is the only corps in DCI histroy to win the 
           championship after not being a top-six corps the year before.

           1980 Liner Notes:  Legion Field - Birmingham, Alabama.  A margin of only 0.8 
           seperated the top four corps at finals.  Both the 27th Lancers, coming off a 
           performance at the Winter Olympics, and the Bridgemen, came close to becoming 
           the first Eastern corps to win the title.  The Santa Clara Vanguard stunned the 
           drum corps world with the first use of asymmetrical drill and placed out of the 
           top three for the first time in DCI history.  However, the corps also became 
           noted, due to Blue Stars not making finals, as the only corps to be a DCI World 
           Finalis every year.
           Trivia Fact:  1980 marked the only time five different corps shared the four 
           high caption scores.  (There was a tie for high percussion.)

           1979 Liner Notes:  Legion Field - Birmingham, Alabama.  The DCI World 
           Champinoships went South for the first time.  The Blue Devils came within 0.1 of 
           a perfect G.E. score while increasing the spread to 0.8 from 0.1 over Phantom 
           Regiment in prelims.  Of the first five corps to appear in finals, three played 
           "Children of Sanchez."  Bridgemen's 'Gong Show' spoof left the audience in 
           hysterics.  The Troopers became a finalist and the Crossmen fell out, after 
           placying 16th and 6th at DCI Midwest, respectively.  
           Trivia Fact:  Though two of the corps were not 1978 finalists, the 1979 DCI World 
           Finals was the first in which all corps had been previous finalists.

           1978 Liner Notes:  Mile High Stadium - Denver, Colorado.  The 0.1 by which the 
           Santa Clara Vanguard edged the Phantom Regiment was the smallest DCI World 
           Championship winning margin to date.  The Vanguard had placed 4th at DCI Midwest.  
           The finals audience stood from Spirit of Atlanta's company front push during 
           "Let It Be Me" through the  entire last minute of the show.  North Star was a new 
           finalist and the Bridgemen successfully rebounded after a 1977 disqualification.  
           The Kilties were no longer an all-male corps.
           Trivia Fact:  The Spirit of Atlanta, in only its second year of competition, won 
           the brass execution caption and placed among the top six finalists.

           1977 Liner Notes:  Mile High Stadium - Denver, Colorado.  The Blue Devils defended 
           its title, being just .1 from a perfect 30.0 G.E. score, despite the fact that 70% 
           of the members caught the flu prior to finals.  The corps only lost one show all 
           season - DCI West prelims to the SCV.  The Phantom Regiment became the dominant 
           Midwest power and almost knocked off the Devils in prelims.  The Crossmen made 
           finals for the first time.  The Oakland Crusaders didn't make finals despite 
           having the top drum line in Prelims.
           Trivia Fact:  The Garfield Cadets taught all of its guard members to play horns 
           for the "I Don't Know How to Love Him" closer, which ended with a vocalized, 
           "Amen."

           1976 Liner Notes:  Franklin Field - University of Pennsylvania - Philadelphia, 
           Penn.  The Blue Devils became the first corps to win all captions at a DCI Finals, 
           while remaining the youngest corps, in only its sixth season of competition, to 
           win the DCI World Championship.  The Madison Scouts placed second after throwing 
           out its entire show early in the season.  The symphonically-styled SCV shocked the 
           audience with a rock concert standstill.  The Bridgemen did likewise with a 
           mass-corps "faint" at the end of its show in finals.
           Trivia Fact:  The Blue Devils' opener, Channel One Suite, at seven minutes in 
           length, was the longest single musical selection played by a corps to date.

           1975 Liner Notes:  Franklin Field - Univeristy of Pennsylvania - Philadelphia, 
           Penn.  The SCV's 91.00 2nd place score was the highest DCI finals score ever
           announced up to that moment.  The Madison Scouts won with a score of 92.5 based 
           on the strength of their horn line.  The 27th Lancers, after falling out of finals 
           in 1974, stormed back with a vengeance and some novel firsts, including a back 
           corner entrance and double flags.  The Oakland Crusaders placed among the top half 
           of finalists in a first year of merger and Garfield Cadets became a first time 
           finalst.
           Trivia Fact:  In Finals, the SCV earned the only perfect G.E. score (10.0's in all 
           three captions) in DCI history.

           1974 Liner Notes:  Schoellkopf Stadium - Cornell University - Ithaca, New York.
           Keyboard instruments are allowed in competition for the first time, (a total of 
           two, which had to be carried at all times).  Drill had become substantially more 
           curvilinear in design.  The SCV staved off a challenge by the prelims winner, 
           Madison Scouts.  The Phantom Regiment and the Blue Devils both became DCI World 
           Finalists for the first time.  The Blue Devils climbing to 9th, after finishing 
           24th the previous year.
           Trivia Fact:  The first perfect score in DCI history was awarded to the Madison 
           Scouts at the World Championship Finals when its horn line received a 10.0 in 
           General Effect.

           1973 Liner Notes:  Warhawk Stadium - University of Wisconsin - Whitewater, 
           Wisconsin.  The DCI World Championships returned to Whitewater for the last 
           time.  The Santa Clara Vanguard had won 24 out of 25 competitions during the
           season, including the Championship finals, despite being beaten in horn
           execution by the 18th place Purple Lancers in prelims.  The 2.5 spread enjoyed 
           by the SCV over the 2nd place Troopers remains the largest margin by which a 
           DCI World Champion has won its title.
           Trivia Fact:  The Argonne Rebels won top horns in prelims with 23 female players 
           out of 60 horns, the first DCI finalist to march more than 20 female players in 
           a horn section.

           1972 Liner Notes:  Warhawk Stadium - University of Wisconsin - Whitewater, 
           Wisconsin.  Only 51 corps participated in the first DCI World Championship.  
           The Kingsmen almost didn't make it out on tour and had competed only once
           prior to July 21.  The corps was defeated six out of seven times by the Blue 
           Stars (including the DCI World Prelims), but managed to win the seventh 
           meeting, the DCI World Championship Finals.  An intense thunderstorm 
           disrupted the finale, sending many fans away without knowing the results. 
           Trivia Fact:  The Bleu Raiders' performance in finals was only the 18th in the 
           corps' history and remains the quickest ascent ever to a DCI finals position.
