Just throwing this out there.

Yes, I am including all ages, all circuits. Many of you will have to go back to the Wayback Book.

Norwood (MA) Debonnaires

The ND-ettes (Bridgeport, CT)

///Yes, I begin with three all-girl corps, perhaps the best three ever ///

Phantom Regiment

Geneva Appleknockers

Govenaires (note the missing "r")

Buchwackers

The Knights of Loretto (Brooklyn, NY)

George Washington Carver Gay Blades

Ballantine Brewers (still, to my recollection, the only corps with a corporate name)

Springfield (Ma) Marksmen

Immaculate Conception Reveries (later the 2-7, Revere , MA)

Connecticut Hurricanes

Reilly Raiders

Mighty St. Joe's (Batavia NY)

The Magnificent Yankees (Utica, NY)

I always like Marauders, it just sounded cool.

Nite Express wasn't bad at all

Bleu Raeders anybody?

And this wouldn't be a list without Vanguard, or Cavaliers, or Boston Crusaders.

Sorry bub, some jokes don't go over well.

The staff members and other corps members literally kept this corps from starving. That's where this nickname mostly comes from, and that's not funny. Ever. (and yes, I say that as one of the biggest trolls on the board)

But you are a newbie, so no worries! Just be careful with that one.

Pioneer technically has a corporate based name. The Pioneer Container Company sponsored the new corps after it was formed from the Imperials of St. Patrick and The Mercury Thunderbolts. There is absolutely no connection between the company and the corps today, I don't know if the company even still exists.

Also, I think Minnesota Brass had a "corporate" name back during its early days, Grain Belt Diamonds, I believe was their name.

As much as I loved Bleu Raeders ( so much I changed corps to march and teach there) I loved the name Stardusters (where 1/2 the Bleu Raeders came from )

Anyone who was around for VFW 71, Stardusters came in 13th.

Those Royal Airs uniforms really looked great on the dusters
