Jeff DeMello Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 St. Joseph's Drum Corps was founded in 1931 by the Rev. T. Bernard Kelly, pastor of St. Joseph's Church in Batavia. Organized as a youth activity for youngsters in the Batavia area, the corps started as a choir, then a fife & drum corps and finally a parade corps. In 1951, corps graduates formed St Joseph's Drum Corps Association Inc., to perpetuate Father Kelly's work. The association sponsored and supervised two corps; a feeder corps, ages 6 to 12; and the older unit, "Mighty" St Joe's, ages 12 to 21. St. Joseph's Drum Corps operated as a parade corps till the late 1950s, when it became a field competition corps. During the l960s, Mighty St. Joe's rose to National and International prominence, consistently ranking among the top ten junior corps in the country. Most notable of the corps many achievements were: 8 Times New York State American Legion Champions 1963-65-66-67 New York-Canadian Champions 1971 Canadian Open Champions l968 National Champion Drum Line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
