KeithHall Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 With championship shows in Lynn, MA, Butler, PA, Marion, OH (were there any others?) What was the best city and why? I have always liked Marion, Ohio since that was the site of my first big drum corps contest but I also liked the city and the festive atmosphere it had. Yours? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHRISP Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Allentown. Historical venue for drum corps (junior and senior btw). Corps always turn it on for Allentown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elphaba01 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) "Championship City": HEY!!!!!!! How about our old home town: Bridgeport CT!!!!!!!!!! The great Barnum Festival's "Parade of Champions" was a yearly staple, as well as some fantastic shows run by the Bridgeport PAL Cadets and St Raphaels Buccaneers. Most of the East's big guns including St Vincent's Caets, Garfield Cadets. Cambridge Caballeros, St Catherine's Queensmen, and Blesed Sacrament competed in their early 1960's contests. The old Hedges Stadium was the venue for the 1964 Junior and Senior Wold Open Championships, and the then new Central High School's JFK field to the 1965 World Open. DCA held their 1966 Championship there also, as well as the DCN "World Open Invitational" in the early 1970's/ Elphaba WWW Edited December 1, 2016 by elphaba01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
