Corps nicknames

[CrunchyTenor]

We've all seen the threads about nicknames assigned to corps by others, usually with a silly or disgusting take on the corps' name. What I'd like to know are the hype nicknames. I remember Anaheim Kingsmen being referred to as "Big Blue", and I've seen Blue Devils referred to as the "Blue Crew". Everybody knows "Green Machine" referes to Cavaliers. More recently Colts have been referred to as "Red Team".

What others are out there? How do members refer to their own corps?

I've heard Crown called the Cream Team...they use that in their audition process as well.

Crossmen - Bones

Cadets - Holy Name

Heard some members from Boston just call themselves the Cru. And of course, there's BAC, which could also mean Bad-*** Crusaders.

Also saw Turquoise Noise refered to as Teal Sound

I've heard of Bluecoats referring to themselves as Blue Team, but not extremely often.

Pretty much any of the names The Cadets have gone by in the past...

Holy Name, Garfield, CBC

Interesting. In 2008 we sometimes jokingly referred to ourselves as the Star of Ohio because most of our visual staff marched Star from around 88-92 or 93. That didn't last long.

I'd have to say that my biggest Bluecoat hype is the BLOOing.

Interesting that anyone would call any blue corps the "Blue Team" considering just how many blue corps there are.
