Corps nicknames

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.

Bananas or Bombers(I never got that one)

Gaahfield

Bridgewackers.

Madison Scouts: Men of Madison. Most guys in the corps love this name.

Well here's one just a few know about when the Glassmen moved to their summer rehearsal site in Oakshade Ohio years ago a few of the kids started calling themselves " The Oakshade Buccaneers " . I always thought that was pretty cool and original .

Another one for Pioneer (besides Shamrock Band): "Pio" has been a pretty popular one for members over the years.

i always thought clueboats was a fun nickname to say for bloo.

BAC is actually Bay Area Crusaders

and ive heard southwind go by S-dub many times.

I'm from Boston and never heard that. Bay Area means SanFrancisco. We say Bay State area. BAC really means Boston Area Crusaders. It was others who started refering to them as the Bad Azz Crusaders. Actually, members, alums and staff just call it "the Corps". (Emphasis on "Corps", not "The", so as not to sound pompous.
