1996 – Finals

What a year! The show was entitled “La Corrida” – The Bullfight, the music included, “Procession del vensador, Concerto D’Aranjuas, Children of Sanchez Macarena”


The music was written by Mark Mayes, drill was written by Rob Swindells and the guard written by Martin and Sharron Ibbs.

A small corps was fielded consisting of 12 horns, 8 field percussion, 5 front line percussion, 4 colour guard and 1 drum major.

The corps achieved a score of 67.6 in the Finals competition, the highest score ever achieved by the Scouts in Drum Corps United Kingdom competition.

Considering for the past 4 years the corps had operated with little or no staff, the achievement of 1996 should never be underestimated, at times the corps was over 10 points behind the finals position through the season.

The dedication, commitment and desire of that corps mirrored all the members who had gone before them and the many members who would follow in their footsteps – there is not one member who will forget the car park for the rest of their lives.
