seen-it-all Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 4 hours ago, jwillis35 said: 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. At the same time, when it comes to drum corps, there really is only one Cadets. And considering how bulky and awkward it was referring to them as "the Cadets of Bergen County," a name that never really sounded right IMO, switching to just "The Cadets" made the most sense and was better for the sake of branding within the activity.

Bluecoats I think are sponsored in part or named by some law enforcement association, someone correct me if I'm mistaken. Cascades are an obvious like for me. Perfect name for a corps out in WA. Southwind Magic of Orlando Glassmen (Toledo is known as the glass city) Mandarins is a good name for a corps with Asian heritage and history Pacific Crest is a great name. Music City for obvious reasons, being Nashville is known as the Music City. Carolina Crown is also a great name, given that they're in Carolina, and the Carolinas were named for "North Carolina was named after King Charles I and King Charles II of England. The name "Carolina" comes from the Latin word "Carolinus," meaning "of Charles." so king, crown, carolinas, Carolina Crown is a great fit. I also believe the Kiwanis Kavaliers were sponsored by the Kiwanis club up there in Canadia. Blue Devils ... Blue for the VFW color and Devils from Mount Diablo in Concord.

Bluzes Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 On 8/8/2018 at 4:57 PM, Photographer Jim said: The corps from Pompton Lakes was the Lakeland Goldenaires. The Pom Poms where from Pittsfield MA. ( I’ll be honest and admit I didn’t know this without looking it up. I was curious as my dad was born in Pompton Lakes and I spent my childhood in Wanaque, the next town over, and didn’t recall a corps from there. Dad was a volunteer fireman, so my introduction to DC was in the 50s at the many summer firemen’s parades. The Goldnaires apparently formed just after we moved to California. ) Remember Lakeland always associated Pom Poms all in pink being at many local parades in NJ or was that the Stardusters think pink about them to?

All of these corps are part of Steve Vickers fantastic "A History of Drum & Bugle Corps Vol. I" They came from the section covering active D&BC between 1921 and 1971. There is another section that covers 1972 (start of DCI) and 2002, the year the first history book was published. Steve still publishes his Drum Corps World and you may contact him to see if there are still copies of the two volume's of the history books. Many of these corps had feeder corps and changed names once the churches stopped funding them, but I tried to just list the older corps. There were some names I didn't include because I thought they might have been a drill team. Saint Kevin's Emerald Knights Saint Thomas Moore Saint Mary's Cardinals Our Lady of Lourdes Assumption Cadets Christ Church Franciscan-aires Gate of Heaven Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation Holy Name Girls Immaculate Conception Cadets Immaculate Conception Reveries Immaculate Conception Marlboro Immaculate Conception Rockettes LaSallette Lancers Most Precious Blood Crusaders, Cavaliers, Girls, Grenadiers Sacred Heart Crusaders Sacred Heart Girls Sacred Heart Sabres Sacred Heart Tartans The following corps names all begin with Saint.
