Star was a unique corps. One that has also gone by the wayside. They competed for 9 years, placing in the top 12 each year. They won the world championship in 1991. Unfortunately, I had aged out and wasn't a part of that. They hired a lot of Garfield Cadet staff that year and it shows. I've included minute and a half clip of 1991 Star to show how much they had advanced with both music and drill. After the corps stopped field competition, they formed Blast which won a few Broadway awards. Basically drum corps for a theater setting.
A lot of great corps have come and gone. One of my favorites that "hooked" me was the Bridgemen from Bayonne, NJ. I agree with you that drum corps has changed, not necessarily for the better. I'm old school and am against any type of electronics or amplification on the field.
Oh well, I guess I'm just a die hard drum corps curmudgeon.
