The 1980 Scrapbook has been updated with some information about the 1980 US tour to Chicago and Franklin Park Park. I found this information in some programs from the US shows and from the Banner article already posted in the '80 scrapbook. Unfortunately we were all too busy to record scores for the three(?) shows we did on tour. I do remember we tended to be dead last in placement so perhaps we didn't care about scores so much.

At one of these shows the Ambassadors became acquainted with the term "unit tick", which under the old tick judging system was a means of taking off a whole point at one stroke rather than a tenth of a point that a "tick" usually reperesented. A unit tick was not generally a sign of a strong performance to put it mildly.
