Gary Matczak Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Alright, somebody's going to have to help me out here because I'm all screwed up as usual. Wasn't the corps once known as "Mighty St. Joe's of Batavia"?________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ What part of "Mighty St. Joe's Alumni" don't you understand? I thought "Mighty" was more attributed to the other St. Joe's corps from out east,.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bariman50 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Originally Mighty St Joes was Father Kellys Boys from Batavia, then they became St Joesphs of Batavia, them Mighty St Joes, then when the Alumni Corps was formed, it was centered in Leroy, the home of Corps Director Sully, thus it became Mighty St Joes of Leroy New York, now on the starting line. Best I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Drum Corps Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 IIRC...St Joes of Newark WERE at some point known as Mighty St Joes...in the 1950's perhaps. The Batavia version of St Joes became more popular in the 1960's and somehow inherited the "Mighty" moniker. We were being called "Mighty St. Joes" in the 60's, and when the Alumni was formed just kept the name. Donny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bariman50 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Now that the Mighty St Joes question is answered, let's get ready for 2010 and everyone get ready to be wowed by the sound of Mighty St Joes 20th year show. It's sounding great so far, let's get everyone to practice and wail!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
