KeithHall Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 From 1974 to 1977 the city of North Tonawanda, NY and The Royal Coachmen Drum and Bugle Corps sponsored the NT Open.....Name the Open Class winners for each year. In 1976, this corps played a song that was not the style of music that they had been known for and "shocked" their fans with this piece. Who was the corps and what was the name of the piece? The Only American Corps to win the Canadian Nationals? Since 1962, only 3 American corps participated in The Canadian Nationals, who were they?

I wanted to wait to see if anybody else would chime in Keith, but I believe the answer you are looking for here might be when Santa Clara played the big band jazz chart, Dark Orchid.

cixelsyd Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Since 1962, only 3 American corps participated in The Canadian Nationals, who were they? At least five American corps have participated in the Canadian Nationals: General Butler Vagabonds (1997) Spectrum (1998) Rochester Patriots (1999, 2000) Lake Erie Regiment (1999, 2000, 2001) Imperial Guardsmen (1999) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithHall Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Brian!!!! Do you have the 1975 and 76 NT Open Scores? I only have 74. BTW we (Royal Coachmen) won A class in 1976. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there an open class for 1976? I don't think there was. There were too many other contests that same day that took most of the major open corps: Santa Clara, Phantom, Oakland Crusaders, Freelancers and Royal Crusaders were all in Washington, PA. Blue Devils, Madison, 27th Lancers, Bridgemen, Garfield, Optimists, Troopers, Muchachos, Boston Crusaders, North Star and Kilts were all at the CYO Nationals. I suspect the '76 NT Open was just a Class 'A' show. The 1975 scores were: Prelims Freelancers--77.35 Argonne--77.3 Optimists--75.5 Seattle Imperials--71.55 Marksmen--70.3 Colt .45--68.45 Precisionnaires--68.05 Charioteers--67.95 Grenadiers--67.35 St. Ignatius--63.65 Yankee Marauders--62.5 Black Watch (WA)--62.05 Seneca Princemen--61.05 Mark Twain Cadets--58.75 Des Plaines Vanguard--58.35 Maple City Cadets--46.65 Imperial Regiment--43.75 Finals Optimists--83.45 Freelancers--82 Argonne--81.7 Precisionnaires--76.2 Marksmen--74 Seattle Imperials--73.2 Charioteers--71.25 Grenadiers--71.25 Black Watch--70.55 Colt .45--69.6 Yankee Marauders--64.1 St. Ignatius--63.15 1976 Royal Coachmen--57.65 Krescendos--57.35 Simplex Minutemen--51.35 Guardsmen--47.9 84th Bucktail Regiment--41.8 Midlanders--38.95 Barons--28.9 Edited January 12, 2016 by Northern Thunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHall Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks! I do remember Marquis won Open class in 1976 but after that I couldn't tell you who else was there. Maybe Fire-ettes were there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Fire-ettes were there I rechecked my files, and it says that Marquis won, but doesn't list any other corps, or scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
