The Govenaires in 1927?

Racine Scouts also in 1927, but still continuously active.

I'm not sure if this would qualify as iconic, but I always think of iconic drum corps tunes as ones I have never seen performed as part of the show but still part of their repetroire. I think mostly because many of them were played before my time. So with this working definition I will nominate Cadillac of the Skies- Cadets. They played it for victory concerts in the mid to late 90's and was always one of my favorites to hear live.

"Strangers In The Night" 1965 New Rochelle Wanderers Senior D&B Corps.

Very Sinatra...

Not my favorite, but who's more iconic than Sinatra?

"Iconic":

1961: Hawthorne Caballeros "Carmen". Joe Genero at his finest.

1963: New York Skyliners: Their entire show. Hy Drietzer's "Masterpiece"

1969: Baltimore Yankee Rebels: "Requiem for an Era" A watershed for drum corps.

Honorable Mentions:

1964: Racine Kilties: "Scotland the Brave" and a VFW upset.

1965: Chicago Royal Airs: "Ballyhoo March" and a steamroller of Truman Crawford hornline that took them to a Nationals hat trick (CYO, VFW and Legion).

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Adventures in Time.

Why?
