LabMaster Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 15 hours ago, BigW said: Yes, around 1980, they were just "Boston". They became "Boston" after the 1982 season concluded, and remained "Boston" through 1983 and 1984 I believe. Not exactly sure when they officially we're able to re-use The Boston Crusaders name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCI Broadcaster Steve " Rondo " Rondinaro marched with them in his youth. They were a pretty good Corps around the late 70's or so time period. Almost made DCI Top 12 one season if memory serves. I saw them in 1981 I think and thought they were fantastic. So many corps that I miss. Alliance is another, after reading your notes on them, that I remember seeing at least twice. Avante Guard, not sure if my spelling is correct, was a nice group. All the great Canadian corps from back in the day, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cadets is a cool name but Garfield was the legend and the name I learned to love when I first discovered drum corps. I made the change to only calling them "The Cadets" our of respect for the corps but I never liked it. Agree. I still do not like it (The Cadets). I hated it when GH shifted to that name. Garfield Cadets is what many of us remember them by, but I imagine there are some who prefer Holy Name Cadets. Would love to see them revisit their name. The Cadets makes me think of West Point Cadets or military Cadets in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw the corps but rode thru the area going to Lake Erie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I also like 27th Lancers for obvious reasons not even close to the Couchmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
