Speaking of which... From Jodeen Popp's tome: "In 1967 at California State, the Velvet Knights experienced one of those unthinkable events. Their American Flag pole was equipped with a spring which operated from a push button, and was meant to extend the Flag to further honor during Color Pres. The predictable happened, of course, and the spring malfunctioned. The Flag shot many feet into the air. A very quick thinking rifle carrier named Joy Lucke marched to the correct spot and caught the Flag before it hit the ground, as if it were part of the drill. At the corps banquet that fall she was presented with an official commendation from the United States Congress. This was the first known such case of commendation." Gotta love Drum Corps History!

Also from the blog: http://thealumniofnewyorkcitydrumcorps.blogspot.com/2008/05/new-york-kingsment-part-3.html "The Kingsmen made their debut 1966 Memorial Day weekend and took first places at Baltimore, Lancaster, Wilmington and Vestal. The plan 30 competitive appearances in 1966."

Pics on corpsreps show them with the new unis in 1966... So, it *appears* they changed to "New York" for the '66 season. And from: http://thealumniofnewyorkcitydrumcorps.blogspot.com/2008/05/new-york-kingsmen-october-1965.html "Completely reorganized in October of 1965, the corps features the magnificent music of Mexico, the natural pulsating percussion rhythms of our Latin neighbors, and the dazzling drill of thrilling precision unit." So when they won the Northeastern in '66, they were actually the New York Kingsmen? My head hurts...

Yeah, yeah... But I'd rather hear from someone who was actually there! Heh...

Thanks, John... In my playlist I have both Bronx Kingsmen and New York Kingsmen, and I just want to make sure I have the right name with the right year. (It *seems* from these discussions they changed to "New York" for the '67 season, but want to be accurate.)

What year did the Kingsmen change their name from Bronx" to "New York"?

From feedback we've received today, it appears the embedded player on the Loudcity page is having issues... Your best bet (always) is to click one of the little icons underneath the embedded player, and listen in with Windows Media Player, Winamp, etc. It sounds a LOT better! Thanks,
