Ace Holleran Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Nope ... to my knowledge, it's the Barnum Festival ... started in 1949 (same year as the Dream I believe) with the CT Yankees as the host corps ... Scranton was first held in 1963 and the Grand Prix started in 65 as a Jr./Sr. show ...:-) I'm with Ange--it hasn't always been a DCA/Senior show, but we ain't missed a one. Of course, you've got two homeboys taking this stand. T Ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabalumnidrummer Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Didn't the Barnum Festival DCA contest have a brief hiatus in the early 2000's? I recall participating in an exhibition-only Barnum Festival in the new baseball stadium in 2005, the year the Bugler's Hall of Fame had its inaugural 'class' inducted that night. Park City Pride, Sky Alumni, Blessed Sac and Cabs Alumni were in the show. Maynard Ferguson and his band performed that night as well. I think the following year it returned to Kennedy Stadium as a contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct John ... the Barnum became a DCA show in 1964 ... in the 90's it was a DCI show for one or two years and in 2005 it was an Alumni show ... but ... as Ace Holleran said in his post: the Barnum has always had a Drum Corps show as part of its Festival history ... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
