JamesKPolk Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) I know that many corps give the members a keepsake for the time they march, usually in the form of a necklace. I'm curious as to what each corps does. I KNOW these: Carolina Crown - Colored Bead Phantom Regiment - Dog Tag The Cavaliers - Colored Gear The Blue Devils - Medals/Championship Rings/Facial Hair Spirit of Atlanta - Delta The Cadets - The Buckle The Bluecoats - Coin Necklace I THINK these: Santa Clara Vanguard - I think you get to keep the little medalliion with the V on it? Not 100% sure. Plume? I think I've heard of these giving stuff out I just don't know what they do: Boston Crusaders Blue Knights EDIT: Added the "plume" suggestion to SCV EDIT: Coins for Bluecoats For Clarification: The "keepsake" here is ANYTHING a corps gives you so that you may remember your time in the corps. *anything* Edited July 27, 2014 by JamesKPolk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drummer5485 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Cavaliers you also get to keep your gauntlets and shoes and, if you're lucky enough, when they get new uniforms you are allowed to purchase your uniform for way cheap (but only yours).

Iheartcrowntubes Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 From what I understand, the necklace and the keepsake are two different things. At Crown, they get the bead at the end of spring training. I think they usually get to keep the mirror from the uniform and the plume -- don't know what they'll do this year, since they have neither. And one corps, don't remember who, gives members a penny with a hole in the middle for their necklace -- they sold replicas on their souvie truck last year.

THEdevilYOUknow Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Crossmen - Red maltese cross necklace, and I believe ageouts get an additional white cross.Colts do a silver triangle with rounded corners for their necklace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son purchased his hat in the age out year. But that might not be an age out 'thing' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
