  1. Since I started cruising this forum I have noticed many people feel corps that are no longer around are some sort of legends. Except for a few (Kilties, Royal Aires, Kingsmen, Star) none of these corps ever won a national title. Sure many made finals and a few even placed in the top three, but for the most part these corps and their alums are really legends in their own minds.

    My favorite guard is the one I work, ate, slept and won with! Santa Clara Vanguard!

    first of all, i am not trying to start anything or jump on anyone, but it all depends what you call a national title.

    before DCI and even during DCIs first few years there were several national shows.

    since you included Kilties and Royal Aires i assume because they won VFW titles then you should also include 27th Lancers because they won World Open in 71 and 79 and also won Dream in 71 and CYO in 77 and 81.(these were big time national shows)

    the Bridgemen also won World Open in 73,77,78,80 and 81 and Dream in 77 and 78.

    these were all considered national title shows along with VFW and the US Open and DCI.

    so, all the winners from all those shows from all years could claim they won a national title.

    we are not legends in our own minds because we did actually win a national title or titles!

    DCI may be all there is left to win now but that was not always the case.

    and i am proud to have been a World Open and Dream title holder! ^OO^

    and i agree with what you said about your favorite guard being the one you worked, ate, slept and won with! as you should! :D

    but the guards from 27th did some awesome, amazing and very innovative stuff(sometimes for me that was the best part of their corps show, watching that guard) and this is a thread about favorite guards, so if others opinions are different than yours thats ok!

    we all have our own opinion! :)

    BTW, my favorite guard is the one i marched with too!
