1988 DCA Snare and Tenor Individuals

Hershey, PA

According to John Neurohr and Frank Nash 1988 was the first year for DCA individuals and the only caption judged that year was snares. The judging took place under the stadium during prelims. Contestants had to report to the judges immediately after their corps marched off the field, which gave the participants no time to warm up or practice. Many thanks to Danny Raymond Jr for tracking down this list.
