sarnia sam Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I always thought the name Jester didn't make any sense. If you are refering to the Jolly Jesters from Toronto it made perfect sense - if you saw their clown uniforms. California Jesters, that's differnet.

JimF-LowBari Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 A few more:Jersey Skeeters Warren Cornplanters Cisco Kids Lamplighters Golden Trojans Redmen Blackhawks Lumberjacks LOL, couple of Native 'Merican references here including Chief Cornplanter from the Warren area. Ironic as I was talking to a DCPer who said his family had an album of their which was lost. Have a Jersey Skeeter (Hackensack) pin but no 'Skeeters' on it, just Doremus Post. OK, Jersey Devils.... Fundamentalists and the NHL would be all over that, Have an old pin of the K-Y Warriors (midwest?)... K-Y Jelly anyone? How about ol' Sleepy Eye Post, MN?

Northern Thunder Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 How about ol' Sleepy Eye Post, MN? Sleepy Eye was one of the great senior corps of the 1940s and 1950s. I have some of their original musical charts. Their director/music arranger was the immortal Pinky Schroepfer. He composed some pieces that were scored both for drum & bugle corps and concert band, and were performed jointly by both musical groups.

Northern Thunder Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 General Putnams Men Funny thing about Gen. Putnam's Men...........when they folded in the early 80s they sent about 25 members to join the Troopers. It was almost like a corps from OH merged with a corps from WY.

HornsUp Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Have an old pin of the K-Y Warriors (midwest?) Oshkosh WI Warriors, 1969 World Open Class B champs by a huge margin. Original sponsors were Kiwanis Club and the YMCA. Edited September 10, 2010 by HornsUp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishbone Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Limited Edition. Stupid. Makes them sound like they were predicting their own demise.Knight Command. Are you frigging kidding me? I'm not a huge fan of singular-entity names like "Force" or "Power" os "Spirit" (ATL gets to use it, everyone else stay away). I like "Sound" in that context because it's aural, and a sound is also a body of water, like Long Island Sound, and Sucoast Sound makes me think that way. I'm having trouble thinking of a corps name that's been in the activity less time than I've been involved (1980) That's any good. I guess that's a new parlor game, though. The name Limited Edition was chosen because the corps wanted a title that showed a change in style from year to year. The name is also the reason why I chose to march there- I LOVED it!
