 The Boys Of '76, Racine, Wisconsin, a former DCA Corps, competed at the American Legion Nationals Drum & Bugle Corps Championships in 1927 that was held in ( believe it or not ) Paris, France. The Boys of '76 finished 5th, among several US corps that made the trip overseas that season. Imagine the air travel.... in 1927.

Oh neat. Did they fly though?  Trans-Atlantic ocean liners were still a fairly common passenger mode at that time.

Am I wrong? It seems like most of the DCA corps are from the East coast.

 You know, thats a good question. I don't know...., but now that I think about it, they could have gone by ocean liner, and more than likely did. Thats a LONG trip to Championships and back.

Correct.

It's mostly a Northeast USA activity.  There are several from outside though, and there have been many throughout the years.

To add: The topic of corps from outside the Northeast and the corresponding topic of relocating DCA Championships is quite interesting.  There are threads here on DCP.
