Aren't these the guys who used to have uniforms like the Bridgemen?............I met a guy from the Jokers way back in the early 80's in Montreal

From videos I have and have seen, they've had the same uniforms since they inaugurated themselves in 1989. Only things that have changed are the hat and the inclusion of a vest. Founder of the corps is a huge Bridgemen fan.

I'm not sure though what came before them. Perhaps Ken could shine some light on a little history??

I have heard that several numbers of original players owned the Bridgemen-like coats.

Anyway, our unis in yellow (plus black pants) have come from the color of the banana-coat.

The original foundation of the Jokers was around 85 or 86. Having watched the situation of the Bayonne corps,

Some guys around Kyoto made a drum corps under the motto "During a short absence of the B-men, we will hold their way

of show creation ". Naturally, Comical and Theatrical have been the basics of our shows.

Our latest gig was "The Field Art NEXT 2010" in Maibara city on last Sunday. It was the last performance of 2009-10 season.

Now we are planning the show for coming season.

Ken,

Brass Arranger for the Jokers

I'm playing baritone in this corps from '04.

I'm 5th one from the right of the arc in this video.

I love this piece and the corps!!!

We have website(http://jokers.fine.to/). You can watch pics on this site.

I will soon update '09 pics.

But, I'm sorry that this site is written in japanese only.

One plays bass drum and the other should play in front pit.
