SCDreamer Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 So, new uniforms for the new, um, Thing? Nope. Make do with what we have. And that meant some parts of the corps wore the green, plaid Scottish kilts of the St. Patrick Imperials and other corps sections wore the dark blue and red cadet-style uniforms of the Thunderbolts. Close your eyes and imagine. A visual clash in style and color. IIRC, the drumline and rifles wore the green, white and black plaid of St. Patrick's, and the brass and flags wore the red, white and blue of the Thunderbolts.

Jim Clark Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 All time WORST : Spirit of Jacksonville State University....just say Spirit Actually, the name is Spirit Drum & Bugle Corps. Check the website. Spirit Drum & Bugle Corps BTW, the original name suggested for the Corps in 1976 was "Concourse", but everyone thought it sounded like something at the airport, so a contest was held to name the Corps.

JaggedHuman Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 What about a few names like: Defiance The Black Rangers The Boston Crush Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffernbus3 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 El Guapo mentioned The Fresno Ferns: a fine example of a bad corps name. You would think that alone would have tipped off Harvey Berish and the "old" Drum Corps World, eh? Ah, but then I DID begin my association with drum corps by marching in "THE ANTLERS," an Elk's Club sponsored little parade corps in Van Nuys, CA during the early 60s.

DrumCorpsMom Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 Hate to go down with a Canadian corps, but never did like the name Dutch Boy.... only thing worse is the Cadets of Dutch Boy. Like the corps, hate the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 Did anyone else ever find themselves making fun of the name "Les Etoiles". It sounds funny when pronounced phoenetically and sounds like a dirty phrase when pronounced correctly. Maybe it's just my dirty mind.

ffernbus3 Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 (edited) ...and then, of course, there was the SPAMTOWN LANCERS, sponsored by Hormel of Austin, Minnesota. And contrary to popular belief, in my research, I can find no record of the Hormel All-Girls Drum and Bugle Corps that Jay Hormel himself organized in the late 40s, the first all female corps to compete in national competition, ever being officially called "The Spam-ettes."
