Frank Vanvoorhis, one of the original founders of the Blue Stars got the name from a singing group of the same name. The reason I know that is bacause when I was at his home one night he showed me the record album of the group and I think the group was from England. He had spoken with Dave Dummer about it and Dave agreed. The Blue Stars originally being a color guard of course that evolved into a full corps, of which I was a charter member. Wow, I had forgotten about that until I saw the question. I don't think I ever told anyone in the corps about that night in the 7 years I marched. Also, because the group was from England, they chose the helmet for head gear. First Federal was added later as the sponsor. Well, maybe the group was from somewhere else.
