The Hawthorne Caballeros have a fascinating history based on a North American tradition and a future that is committed to the performing arts, youth education and entertainment. Since 1946, Hawthorne, New Jersey has been the home of World Champion Hawthorne Caballeros Drum and Bugle Corps. Founded by Hawthorne resident Jim Costello, the Caballeros were originally comprised of veterans returning from the Second World War. Costello introduced the Latin style of music and dress that began the Spanish tradition that continues in today’s Caballeros. In fact, the Caballeros still dress in the same uniform introduced by Jim Costello in the early years of the drum and bugle corps. Today, drum and bugle corps’ are a worldwide community with the Hawthorne Caballeros recognized as the most famous drum and bugle corps in the world. Modern drum and bugle corps are entertainers and fierce – but friendly – competitors. Competing Corps include the Sunrisers from Long Island, NY, the Hurricanes from Derby, CT, the Bushwackers from Harrison, NJ, the Reading Buccaneers from Reading, PA and your hosts, the Hawthorne Caballeros. Also performing in exhibition are the Skyliners Alumni Corps from New York, NY, the NY Skyliners Alumni Chorus from New York, NY Park City Pride from Bridgeport, CT and The Hawthorne Caballeros Alumni Drum and Bugle Corps from Hawthorne, NJ will finish out the evening with their 2009 program which is guaranteed to entertain – and bring the audience to their feet.

CorpsBuff Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 This is, year after year, the best "bang for your buck" in drum corps. DCA title contenders mixed with some of the best alumni corps. If you attend one show this summer, this is the one to go to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
