I have always loved the alliterative poetry of the Santa Clara Vanguard. And I have a soft spot for the Seneca Optimists in their sunshine-yellow uniforms. My all-time favorite is The Muchachos. To my early adolescent self, the name (and their 1974 show) sounded indescribably cool. But my wife, a native Spanish-speaker, always laughs when she hears this, as to her ears, it just sounds like "the guys." Ah yes, I agree with you on Santa Clara Vanguard. It just rolls off the tongue and has a regalness to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they clacked the chairs closed it was like a bomb going off in Olympic Stadium Les Chatelaines. Agreed. Needs a picture. Belleville Black Knights. Just because the uniform was so bad @ss. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the church called "Our Lady of the Miraculous" and the corps called "Medal Orbits"? Was the church the whole name? Why "medal" and not "metal"? What's a "medal orbit" relative to a "metal orbit"?
