Ben Martinez Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Not DCA. A toast the San Joaquin Stockton Caballeros from Northern California. Ben Martinez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomPeashey Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I remember the Caballeros well from Portland OR American Legion Nationals in 1965... They actually finished 3rd behind my Grey Knight Post Crusaders who won and second place Hawthorne Caballeros. I wonder when if ever (other than this) that two corps with the same name finished in the top 3 of an important championship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That maybe the only time in drum corps history that this has occured. I suspect Tom, you'll find out. I owe my learning how to play a horn at age 14 while in the Royalaires in San Leandro,Ca from Stockton Caballero instructor/arranger/soloist AJ Vierra formerly of the Springfield Marksmen from Springfield,Ma. I heard he has returned to Springfield and now works with the Marksmen Alumni. Thanks AJ !!! and have great new year Tom.

trw Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I have a Phoenix myspace you are all welcome to visit. There is music and pics, and I'm always looking for more pics of the Phoenix if anyone wants to share. I'm about to update the history of the Phoenix with input and help from Bill McGrath. I hope this information will set the Phoenix story strait once and for all. It's is the story of how a great drum & Bugle corps went up in flames and vanished after 2 seasons. It'll be a history lesson on what to avoid when building a drum & bugle corps from scratch http://www.myspace.com/therochesterphoenixdrumbuglecorps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rattadiddle Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Who could forget Toronto's Etobicoke Crusaders? 69 to 74. First corps to romp on the field with King Herod's Song. Always a crowd pleasing corps. We are celebrating 40 years. Join their Facebook page. Rundown from 73 Canadian National Championships were: Standstill: Golden Lions, Ventures of Kitchener/Waterloo, Townsmen of Leamington. Jr. C.: Senators of Brampton, Kiwanis Kavaliers, Lancers, Guardsmen, East Scarborough Kinsmen, Durham Girls, Marching Saints. Jr. B. Prelim.: Cardinals of Precious Blood, Optimists Knights, Dutchmen, Etobicoke Crusaders, Krescendos, Dutch Boy, Bluewater Lionaires of Sarnia. Girls Prelim.: St. Johns of Brampton, Les Cavaliers, Les Eclipes, Marching Angels. Jr. A Prelim.: Cadets LaSalle, Seneca Princemen, Midlanders, Toronto Optimists, De LaSalle Oaklands, 4th Brigade. Most of the above corps are not in existence any longer. There was a show every weekend as we made the circuit through Southern Ontario. We made a tour to the U.S. (e.g. Marion, OH, Toledo, OH) and to Quebec every summer (can't remember where we went, LOL. Couldn't undertand French anyway.) Thank goodness for Alumni: Scout House (who my hubby & I march with), Optimists, Niagara, Midlanders, United, Del, Toronto Sigs, and the newly forming OnCorps, to name most of them. All the Alumni are currently working on getting a Circuit going. It's time for Southern Ontario to rise again. Poor Dutch Boy can't get any U.S. corps to come this far north on their circuit to hold their annual show any longer. Thanks, Val. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenandoah Vibrato Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I can't pass without toasting a few "Maine" corps of the 60s' Katadin Rangers Pine Tree Warriors Bath Buccaneers Portland Sabers and lets not forget my own Scarlet Cadets from Lewiston.

Fran Haring Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 and lets not forget my own Scarlet Cadets from Lewiston. Was that the snowshoe corps? Fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenandoah Vibrato Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Nope! "Les Montagnard" was the name of the snowshoe club. They were never a competitive field corps. Just a dozen or so snow shoe racers who would parade to church after the races playing straight G bugles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
