Well, the full Poll Question got cut off:
Some feel that Dan's Drill Team History chart should not be included in the first edition of the book unless all the information on the chart is 100% correct. Others feel that the chart, while it may have some errors, is complete enough and of enough historical significance that it should be included regardless. What's your opinion?

It appears odd that a number of teams started in 1948. For example, West Sayville's drill team started in 1892, so my questions are, what is this information based upon? And why should this be considered legitimate? If it is wrong for my team, I think it is safe to say that it is wrong for others. I know that at one time West Sayville's drill team history was posted on the department's site making it accessible to all, and yet, 1948 is what this information states. Although Mr. Cornell demonstrated a lot of research in putting this together, I do not recall anyone from West Sayville being questioned to checked if the information he received was accurate. And this is a team that is out there every season on a weekly basis. The chart appears to be that of a "rough draft," and a good start at compiling the history of drill teams. But, still appears to be a work in progress.
I think if our sport is going to be represented, the information should be as accurate as possible.
Look forward to the finished product Mike.
Thanks!

I say include it only if the information is 100% correct! It should also be researched and then verified by a legitimate and dependable source from each department.
I believe that Dan's Drill Team History spreadsheet was compiled by going off of some old score-sheets from tournaments, and from what additions that people have submitted to him.
There are also some Teams / Departments that did run in the past, that are not even on the Team History List.

Maybe a listing of the teams known to have competed over the years and not the questimates of when they began.
I do believe the list is a great start, but it might be too late to verify all of it based on Mikes timelines he is working on....
