elphaba01 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 "New Name": Thinking of your geographaical location and it's connection to the Civil War-War Between the States, how about "The Stonewall Brigade", after the troops of Confederate general Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. The Brigade was renowned for it's marching speed, and was sometimes revered to as "Jackson's Foot Cavalry".

C.Holland Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Hi all, I'm starting a real SoundSport activity in my local area. I'm wracking my brain as to what I want to call the drum corps/Sound Sport TEAM. I want it to be serious, but not too serious. Nothing cheesy like Apple Corps or Corps-Ruption. Here are the ideas so far... Espirit de Corps Redemption Corps Bold Corps Intrepid Drum & Bugle Corps Rush Hour PLEASE HELP! Need new ideas. Chris I think Rush Hour is a funny play on a name since I lived there for six years and understand how you picked it. It sounds more contemporary that the rest of the suggestions. I also like SuperNOVA. I will give you my $0.02 is than anything you propose based around American/Civil War/Militia themed will somehow have audiences expecting American Music. Sadly, the Troopers and Ghost Riders have already spoiled that characterization for you. Edited February 22, 2016 by C.Holland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I think Rush Hour is a funny play on a name since I lived there for six years and understand how you picked it. Given how bad DC-area traffic is... perhaps "Endless Rush Hour" would be appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHall Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Makes sense to use CorpsRuption if you are in the DC area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris7997 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi guys, Love the Stonewall Brigade. And the input on Rush Hour and Corps-Ruption. I think I've come up with an idea...And D.C./VA/MD...if you are interested...let me know...I'm looking for players!! What do you think about... "Freedom Force"... imagine black uniforms with a hint of red, white and blue flag on front shirt...or some kind of small American shield on front...maybe even with an Eagle patch ... and then black hats...and silver gloves. The only concern like you talked about is expectation of playing American music all the time, which I don't want. Too close to "Freedom Drum & Bugle Corps" from Oklahoma?

C.Holland Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I think you've dug yourself a hole with that name. There's also a plethora of corps that are dark in color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeN Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 "Freedom Force"... Only if you play "America - F### Yeah" - that's the first thing that came to mind. Mike (edit - this is totally tongue in cheek!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
