Anyway, more about Star. Why were they legendary? They made Finals every year of their existence. They pushed the creative envelope. Bill Cook ran his corps differently - he was ahead of his time (just like the corps itself), treating it more like a business. Their drumline wasn't just clean - they looked like clones of each other - their interpretations were spot on.





Not to mention the fact that they had Hannum, McNutt, Ancona, and Beddis all under the same name.

Depending on the year, they also had Delucia and Kerchner writing (1985) as well as Jim Prime, Jr. writing for brass and Donnie Van Doren teaching brass.

There's also a memoir of sorts by Bill Cook that Hoppy apparently forgot to read . . . it mentioned Star's use of props in '87. I believe they said in retrospect that they should have ditched the props in June because of the traveling difficulties among other things.
