... our first appearance (17th) , 2 weeks after the "schism of `88". Members of Knights of Noble Callahan, traveled to DCA with most of the original corps... but had to borrow drums and flags from the Fort Edward Vagabonds (Thanks to the late Brent Farnsworth). We entered the contest simply as "The Knights". The record often has us confused with, alternatively, the Hamilton Knights or the Southern Knights.

A month or 2 later, we had a new administration, a new name, "Capitol Brass Ensemble"; and were off to a fresh start in both DCNY and DCA competition.

As someone who has spent the last 33 years researching drum corps scores, I can tell you how tough a job it is

to archive it accurately. It is a constant series of changing numbers, dates, locations, corps, etc. And there are few "master lists" to compare with. Any given contest can have different results depending on where it is published.
