Northern Thunder Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 could this possibly be St. Rocco's in 61 or 62? ... St. Rocco's apparently wore military jackets in '62 (and no black/white plumes)....pictured here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/30432143@N00/107354832/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I was wrong on the year they switched to the powder blue & black military unis ... I thought 63 ... the pic says 62 ... they were still called the Golden Aces before they became the Cadets ... anyone have some old Yankee Circuit pics from 60/61? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Thunder Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) I read an online bio about the Golden Aces, and it said they earlier wore red blouses with a gold stripe. That's when they apparently took on the Golden Aces nickname. No mention of the time frame, however.

JimF-LowBari Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 The parade is on 5th Avenue in NYC. The colors were common to quite a few corps in the Greater NY area, like the Selden Cadets, Floyd Bennett Golden Eagles, and a few more. Check the alumni sites of those two. I just have to ask.... how do you know 5th Avenue. Not doubting just love to know what gives it away as have done the "where and when is this picture" with old car pics.

Frank's 5th Ave comment throws me into a GNYC / Penn-Jersey / GSC / Long Island Circuit frame of mind ... but, for the life of me, I can't remember a corps from that era using a multi color plume ... aaarrrgghhhh!!!! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajlisko Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 >> I was thinking Blessed Sac too but the pics I found had the corps in a yellow top. Kicker is this pic was found in the "Photography" pages..... Irony is the last copyright year on the encyclopedia is 1967... And that short dude 2nd from the right is just throwing me...... << Jim ... check if there's a "credits" section or glossary towards the end of the book ... might give some clues as to who this is, where/when it was taken or at least who took the pic ... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Great idea Andy (wish I would have thought of it)...... In the middle of getting rid of this and another set but will check if the picture credit page is in the recycle pile. Can't remember if I clipped this pic before or after last Weds (last recycle day). Edited June 23, 2014 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyoldfrt Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Selden Cadets is a very good guess. One of the best soprano lines of their day, IMO. It also might be early St Andrew's Bridgemen Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
