Blackstar Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 It could be done of the copyrights have expired or you can find out who owns them. It might not and shouldn't be DCI. Someone somewhere is or should be listed. Check the Photonary (sic) office in your town and they can tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairbear Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I can think of one that came back as an alumni corps, went parade corps and then went to comp corps. They also made finals as a senior corps, which might make them the only one to make VFW, AL, DCI and DCA finals. Several "Nationals" titles too! WWBD!

Northern Thunder Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) I'm not sure how happy alumni of the original Chicago Royal Airs were when the Royal Airs junior corps started up in suburban Chicago in 1975. Their highest score in 1976 was 15.50 and their highest score in 1977 was 16.20. And in their final season of 1978 their highest score was 15.45. I'm sure many alumni thought it best to just remember the legacy of the original corps, instead of coming out with an ill-prepared junior (possibly led by well-intending alumni of the original corps) that may have tarnished the Royal Air name just a bit. I guess it's also possible that the 1970s version had absolutely NOTHING to do with the original, which would really be a sad situation of trying to cash in on a famous name.

drumno5 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 It's a parking lot. LOL But I doubt if you and the old gang will be playing stickball there any time soon. regards, Fred O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIHasBeen Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 As nice as this sounds...it wouldn't be the same. VK finally came back but they are not what they were. Don't get me wrong, it's great to have them back but it's like watching Bridgemen in the 70's and then seeing them in 1982 doing Chrismas in July....SAD! Christmas in July was 1985, and it was the same corps (in terms of continuity) that existed in the '70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigW Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Christmas in July was 1985, and it was the same corps (in terms of continuity) that existed in the '70s. I enjoyed watching that show-- Yes-- it wasn't as good as some previous efforts over the years by the Bridgemen, but I do remember seeing it fondly and I'd like to watch it again, which is more than I can say about many things I've seen on the field over the years.

drmr27 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Apparently the 27th Lancers are alive and well. In Makati City in the Phillipines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Thunder Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Apparently the 27th Lancers are alive and well. In Makati City in the Phillipines. Yes, I think it's pretty sad that when you look up 27th Lancers on ***tube, it isn't the one from Revere, MA that shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
