Andyroo Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 (I answered last night, but it didn't show up for some reason..Next Question: Name the first North American drum corps to play for British royalty... (It was a senior corps.) Wasn't it Hawthorne? I believe they met Queen Elizabeth Da Two at the airport in '76(?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donincardona Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 do we get a hint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diceman Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 do we get a hint? It was before 1976! It's pretty obscure, so I'll tell you: It was the Kingston Grenadiers in 1973... Here's one: Has a California senior corps ever won a National Title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's one: Has a California senior corps ever won a National Title? Too easy. 1932 San Fransisco Post 1025 captured the VFW title. Can't say I was there.

Jimbalaya Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Were they the California Don's???????? J Too easy.1932 San Fransisco Post 1025 captured the VFW title. Can't say I was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsksun4 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) Were they the California Don's????????J Not sure if the Maffia was involved or not. Just kidding. The California Don's were a Junior corps from Fresno, California, and were founded in 1984, so it's a sure bet they didn't bring down the house at the 1932 VFW.

On a side note, speaking of California senior corps and titles, interestingly enough, in the 1952 VFW another left coast powerhouse, The Culver City Imperials were narrowly edged out of the title by the Reilly Raiders by a score of 90.90 to 75.25. A real barn burner. Edited January 31, 2008 by gsksun4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
