bluecoats88 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Somewhat related:I feel like most drum corps fans call Blue Devils "BD," but most of the people that I know that actually marched the corps don't refer to it as BD that often, and usually call it "Devs." Also, I talked to a staff member over the summer that marched Cavaliers, and he told me that he HATED when people called the corps "Cavies," and insisted that it should be "Cavs" instead. Don't know how prevalent either of those are. Could just be the individuals I talked to, but it was interesting to see them both hating the name that the drum corps community commonly uses for them. Also alot of peoplpe refer to Phantom Regiment as Phantom, but my understanding is that within the corps they refer to themselves as the Regiment and prefer people not call them Phantom.

cowtown Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 rather not test the boards filters with the ones I know and I'm sure many of you know them too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchyTenor Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 rather not test the boards filters with the ones I know and I'm sure many of you know them too Not the thread for those. Been there, done that, old news. This is the thread for the cool names, like the ones the corps had for themselves. Garry in Vegas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGCpimpOtimp Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Due to the lack of food, we called ourselves the Marion Ethiopian Cadets in 04. Not a corps specific nickname, more of one for the whole activity, Summer Drum Band, Band Corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZFan Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Also alot of peoplpe refer to Phantom Regiment as Phantom, but my understanding is that within the corps they refer to themselves as the Regiment and prefer people not call them Phantom. Where with the other names i've heard (ie cavs and devs), i've never heard anyone call PR just Regiment. i've heard "PR", "Phantom", "Phant" and "Phantom Reg." but never just Regiment.

Funny, I prefer "Cavies" to "Cavs". When I marched, we were most definitely "Cavies" or "The Green Machine". The Cavs are a professional basketball team from Cleveland.... I never really heard The Cavaliers being referred to as "Cavs" until after '03. I was taken aback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Regiment: PR, regiment (that one dude in the 2003 finals vid that yelled let's go regiment in the beginning) Carolina Crown: Crown, and Cream Team (only once) Holy Name Cadets: Holy Name, Cadets Santa Clara Vanguard: Vanguard! (I want the yell please :D) Santa Clara, SCV Pacific Crest: Pac Crest (I heard it on a DCI Field Pass) PC Troopers: Troop Blue Devils: BD is the most common, Blue team Bluecoats: all I ever hear towards them is BLOOOOOOOOOOO Cavaliers: Cavs, Cavies, Green Machine Boston Crusaders: BAC, Boston (yeah I've heard it yelled in the crowd), that's all I can remember from the top of my head right now xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow Adam Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Phantom Regiment: PR, regiment (that one dude in the 2003 finals vid that yelled let's go regiment in the beginning) I always think of the beginning of the closer in '96 - "Go Regiment" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
