PureRockFury Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I have always been a fan of Minnesota Brass and Empire Statesmen. I will always be a major fan of the "yellow team" Grenadiers have a lot to overcome each year to make it to the field, but they still manage to go out there with 50, 65, 100 or whatever and still perform the crap out of their shows.

Mike_B Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I like MBI - they play the most interesting books well and same for Renegades Class A - I have to go with Vigilantes - refreshing style and I'm a drum line guy. Mini corps - Renegades hands down - style and cajones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeDz Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 It was the late summer or early fall of 1956. The City of Paterson, NJ was dedicating a new mini-park near Firehouse #7 at the corner of Main Street and Gould Ave. My father and I walked six or seven blocks to get to the dedication. The street alongside what is now Nick's Pizzeria was a sea of red and black. Before the ceremony started, a drum line played a bit (street beat) and then went into what I will always remember as The Caballero roll-off and right into "Cherry Pink....." I was twelve years old....... I see no reason to switch favorites.....and I still like The Yankees, Texas Wieners from Hot Grill in Clifton, and vanilla ice cream. My wife (of forty-two years) still thinks drum corps is just noise. Ah........consistency. Joe D. (Pop and I sat at the 45-yard line at Hinchliffe Stadium for Grand Prix I.......and most that followed until his passing.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMoonlightChef Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hawthorne Caballeros. Because I am a Caballero. Pride, tradition, energy, passion, balls. You name it. Reading Buccaneers for playing great classical music, pushing forward, and being a class act organization from top to bottom. Great corps, great people.
