Fran Haring Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Several of mine have already been mentioned, including St. Rita's Brassmen. A corps ahead of its time, playing absolutely killer brass charts from Hy Dreitzer. I've mentioned this corps several times in other threads... but here goes again...LOL: Southern Tier Grenadiers from NY State. Easily one of the best horn lines, on a player-for-player basis, I've ever heard during all my years around drum corps. And they played some really high-rent stuff for a local-circuit corps, and a relatively small horn line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elphaba01 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 "Beantown's Best": WAY "Back in the day" (Late 1950's-early 1960's) the Boston area had a blizzard of great junior drum corps, most of them instructed by members or alumni of the great Lt Norman Price Post "Princemen". Their numbers include, the Caimbridge Caballeros, St Marys Majestic Knights, IC Reveries (Who became the 27th Lancers), St Kevins Emerald Knights (St Kevins actually had THREE corps, besides the Knights were the Gems and the Chips), Boston Crusaders (And their cadets corps the Valients), Braintree Warriors, St Marys Cardinals, South Boston Gatesmen, and the all girls Debonaires. (My apologies to any that I have no doubt missed). They competed in what then was the old "CYO Circuit". There were actually so many CYO drum corps, drill teams and marching bands, that the CYO Championships often took and entire weekend to complete.

Fran Haring Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 1979 Boston Crusaders. Small corps, but a killer show... horn line was absolutely sick... and an almost unbelievable energy level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
