They once had a feeder corps called the Elks Trojans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambassRMdip Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 What about the Eastern Mass Circuit from the 70's including: Pembroke Imperials Arlington Heightsman Defenders of Rockland Amvet Brigadiers and Amvet Lancers Malden Ambassadors Burlington Citations Winchester Queensman Braintree Braves White Eages from Haverhill North Star Guardsmen Chuting Stars Jeanettes of Lynn Socialites of Saugus Charisma of Salem Arbella of Salem Princemen of Melrose Fitchburg Kingsmen Somerville Cavaliers Joanetts of Leominster Sancians of Weymouth It is unfortunate that "back in the day" there used to be a drum corps in every other city throughout the State...today is a sad state of affairs...

dckid80 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Looks like we marched together in 1980. Mr. E passed away just before Thanksgiving. You list brings back some memories... Arbella kicking everyone's butt in '78. Us, Queensman, Cavies and Ambassadors duking it out for 2nd place. Odyssey wearing those aluminum foil overlays in '79. Dilboy field being a dustbowl every year. Going out to Gardner for the Simplex Minutmen's show and feelig like we were on th other side of the world. I think they came out wiht a huge corps in '79 but the hornline had no punch at all. Am I the only person that remembers Charisma? The first and only all-girl merger. Still can't believe that the Jeannettes and Socialites did that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambassRMdip Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Yup...Marched Royal Marquis in 1979 and then Guardsmen in 1980 -- I'm sorry to hear about Mr. E -- I wish I would have known sooner -- do you know if they were still living in Wakefield? Definately lots of memories back in the big Eastern Mass, CYO and Mayflower days -- remember the TRIPLE CROWN -- definately remember Dilboy and always brings tears to my eyes as that is where we competed when Patty Gangi was killed driving home...horrible time for the Guardsmen! Wasn't it the Simplex Minutemen show where the GE box was on top of a bus -- LOL -- MEMORIES...too bad that there are almost no more existing drum corps in Massachusetts! quote name='dckid80' date='Dec 11 2007, 06:34 AM' post='2096877'] Looks like we marched together in 1980.
