I'm wondering about the style and/or type of jackets corps are using. Lined or unlined, type of collar, hooded? Solid color or two or three colors, nylon, cotton, or some type of blend? Similar to DCI jackets, varsity type, or windbreaker? Any input would be great.

Looking for suggestions on places to order jackets for our alumni corps. Wondering what some of the other corps are doing.

Hiatt Regency Lobby encore performance in Dallas, Texas 1978 after winning VFW Nationals.
They loved us, They were throwing $$$ over the rails. What a sight to see all of the people and the money raining down on us.

First show I ever marched was in Frankenmuth in 1976 with the Midshipmen from Petoskey, MI. I live in the Muth area now, so I plan to check this group out. From what I understand, they will be doing a performance after the parade.
Please stop by and say hello. My name is Grover. I'll be the guy with the flugle horn. We will also be rehearsing Saturday evening 6pm - 8pm at Frankenmuth High School Band room and parking area.

More UP Michigan Corps... Silver Echoes of Munising, Majestics of Marquette, Castle Rangers of Munising, Golden Eagles of Lanse, and the White Beret of Iron Mouintain.
The topic name is pretty funny to me because most of the corps listed are not "barely heard of" for me but rather a what corps did you march against list. alankarls list of the corps in upstae Wisconsin and the UP is missing a couple from that time, the Hurley Ambassadors, the Blue Knights from Ironwood, the Brass Regiment from Park Falls, and the Durand Silver Sabers all girl drum corps.
The Sundowner's first year was 1971 after the Eau Claire Boys added girls midway through the 1970 season. If I remember correctly there was a woman named Annie Mixdorff (or something like that) that ran "Parade Specialties" which was a small Wisconsin circuit with the Parade/Contest format in small towns. Maybe the vast Knowledge of Northern Thunder could help me out with the facts.

A new Alumni Corps is forming in the Great Lakes Area!
The Great Lakes Drum Corps Alumni(GLDCA),has been formed by a group of alumni from several corps in the old Wolverine/Great Lakes Drum Corps Association. The Association existed from abt. the mid 60's to the mid 80's. It was comprised of corps primarily from both upper and lower Michigan, Canada, Ohio, Indiana,and Illinois. The Bluecoats and Glassmen were both members of the GLDCA in their earlier days.
We have started a facebook page but will have a website eventually.
