^0^ I marched w/Wally those years and think we did the RCA 71(last year maybe in (RCA.. )

I can not find any info that says they were in the 1971 RCA finals.

I have gone back and edited the origianal list, just waiting on clarification on the Renigades

[Info for the Red Carpet Association]

The Renegades, (RCA) "From the Wilds of Massachusetts" (Everett and Boston) 1970-1973 (that I remember)

I checked the followng site http://diceman.home.att.net/rcas.htm and there is no record of The Renegades at the RCA finals for those years. Did they not make the drive?

Hey Roger,

Reading this stuff gives me an idea,.................how about we get a page up called RCA History Archives?,......................

Looking at the list of Corps, in 1975 a corps called Gypsy Brass were in a lot of RCA shows and the finals, where are they from?

[Info for the Red Carpet Association]

I think I remember the Burlington Commanders being from Canada and in RCA

I really am getting old, how could I forget the great pumpkin aka Commanders

[Info for the Red Carpet Association]

Does any one remember the Cumberland Md. Freestatesmen? They were an RCA corps for awhile. also seems that there was another canadian corps, not Guelph or Burlington or Kawartha. Boy, getting the memory jogged sure is fun ,Eh!

Lets me go back into my memory banks: Imperial Knights, Sudbury - Kawatha Kavaliers, Lindsay - Genadiers , Kingston and I believe Canada's Marching Ambassadors, Toronto all from Ontario
