They got 7th in 1980, and won in 1981.
I have the 1982 dvd though, and the SCV show is KILLER. They pulled out the suprise bottle dance ending at finals, and the crowd was in such an uproar, that the hornline on the front sideline (playing extremely loud) couldn't hear each other and completly fell apart, half the corps ending a quarter note before the other half.
It was kind of a let down to watch, but not really, because it was still amazing. In person it must have been friggin' awesome.
