From the seven charter members (in a competing sense):

Skyliners

Interstatesmen

Archer Epler

Yankee Rebels

Pittsburgh Rockets

From the early years (yes, I know some have Alumni's):

Marksmen

CT Yankees

Princemen

Westshoremen/Bonnie Scots

Les Dips

Reilly Raiders

Hamburg Kingsmen

Guelph Royalaires

Boys of 76

Pre-DCA:

Amboy Dukes

Bangor Yellow Jackets

Milton Keystoners

Hersey Chocolatiers

Criterions

Carver Gay Blades

Skokie Indians

:-)

Not DCA, but worth notable mention:

Ballentine Brewers,

Not to be confused with the Milwaukee Brewers...................................

I think this corps had their very own beer truck that followed them to shows. At least I thought I saw it at the 64 Dream.

Also like the Jersey Skeeters and Jersey Devils......

LOL, bought a Skeeters (aka Doremus Post) pin on eBay a while back. Has the DM holding a tray that's has the corps on it (1948 version of PhotoShop :ph34r: ). Scanning and posting it is on my to-do list as it's one of the neatest pins I have.

The Skyliners are not, nor have they ever been, "dead".

Pre-DCA: Geneva Appleknockers

1970 or '71: Garden Statesmen - Don't know if they ever competed at DCA prelims. Anyone have information about that?

Also pre-DCA, did anyone mention Canada's Burlington Commanders and the Marching Ambassadors?
