lnavis Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Darnit! I MISS Wisconsin being the center of Drum Corps! Wait! What? It's not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puppet Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 So were you fearful that if you spilled cream on your mustache the cats would like it off? One of the reasons we called him Snow was that he could barely grow a mustache! And I'm certain you meant to write lick. By the way - this Center of Drum Corps thing - no city anywhere, anytime had more competing corps than NYC in the sixties and early seventies. There were more than 20. I could name them all but that's like a whole other Topic. Puppet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouts, Kilts, Racine Scouts, Blue Stars, Capitol Sound, Twilight Knights, Chippewa Valley Brigade, Americanos, Capitalaires, Kilties Jr, Kiltie Kadets, Knights of Pythias, Holy Name Cadets, YMCA and Kiwanis Kilties, Knights of Columbus, St Lucy's Girls, Sons of Veterans, Skokie Indians, Boys of 76, Zephyrs, Celtic Cadets, 32nd Hussar, Ambassadears (Racine), Ambassadors (Hurley), Bangor Falcons, And the Black Hawks. I think that's more than 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's more than 20. OK. You suckered me in. First, I was speaking of M&M class "A" corps of the time. Not feeder or parade corps. Second, I was only taking about one (1) city. If I named all those who marched in one form or another well, never mind. But here's a small sample: Saturday July 29, 1967 Buffalo NY New York State American Legion Championships STADIUM: War Memorial Stadium Position Corps Score DIVISION JR 1 St. Joseph's of Batavia 84.460 2 Bronx Kingsmen 82.930 3 Magnificent Yankees 81.310 4 St. Joseph Patron Cadets 78.610 5 OLC Ramblers 75.510 6 Appleknockers 75.360 7 Emerald Statesmen 75.010 8 Dynamic Duo 71.780 9 Poughkeepsie Pacers 71.010 10 CMCC Warriors 70.580 11 Grenadiers 59.160 12 Castlemen 58.360 13 Speigleaires 56.280 14 Oceanside Legionaires 54.680 15 Manhattanaires 54.550 16 Mello-Dears 53.680 17 Barons of Steuben 52.450 18 Queenaires 50.500 19 Squires 43.150 20 Tri-Town Cadets 41.810 I'm only saying.

Old School Contra Guy Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 OOO! Do Kansas now! were you thinking the "Dust in the Wind" kind of Kansas, or all the corps that have gone away in Kansas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's more than 20. In the 60's, if you included up-state NY with NYC, there were quite a few. Also, Jersey was no slouch either. Remember, Long Island alone had a drum corps practically in every other fire department for parades, and every town had a fire department.
