ironlips Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) I began to consider the premise: a Rebel Flag. Perhaps not, I thought. The Mount Carmel Mounties carried the earlier Canadian color (pre-Maple Leaf), which closely resembled the British Union Jack, which was the model for the CSA color. The Mounties did perform some exhibitions at DCA shows during this time. Fascinating though this may be, the uniforms are not those of the Mounties, and the photo is quite clear: it's the Conferate Stars and Bars. Back to square one. I marched that show, was on the field at the moment the photo was taken (though the Sunrisers are not in the frame), and simply do not remember anyone who looked like that. Maybe if I try hypnosis and some regression therapy... Edited April 15, 2014 by ironlips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had my interest anyway and I found this, which confirms your findings: Scroll down to THE ROYAL UNION FLAG SINCE 1801 http://tmg110.tripod.com/canada_flag.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donincardona Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'm going to guess Chicago Royal Airs (1967). They were in the show and played Battle Hymn. HOWEVER, the uniforms look a little greenish, rather than blue. To make matters worse, two jr. corps in green, Emerald Knights and St.Patrick's Imperials were in the 1966 Dream. Seeing Lefty on the sidelines, too. What year did he pass? lefty passed the weekend of 1976 DCA. i think i remember he passed in rochester.

Fran Haring Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Yes Don and Fred, 1976 in Rochester. Sad weekend for all of us. Right after he was inducted into the World Drum Corps Hall of Fame, the inaugural class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsksun4 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 We have an answer: BUSHDM1986 was there and says: Sorry for the long delay. I dug out my old Dream programs and in 1972 the Hudson CYO Band from Hudson MA performed in exhibition. I was at that show and remember their performance. It was odd seeing a band perform at Roosevelt Stadium during The Dream, but they were good. There! Mystery solved! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
