There was also a corps called "The Thing" from Longview/Kelso WA. I believe it was called that during transition from the Mustangs (mostly parade corps) to the Marauders.

Bluzes Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Bordentown Little Devils - was Jersey Devils (may have been a senior corps that went, Junior) Cambridge Caballeros - rumor has it back then that they were forced by the police to disband because of all the havoc they reeked. West Paterson Royal Airs - the city changed their name to Woodland Park to dissociate them from Paterson, now Paterson is thinking of changing to East Woodland Park, go figure.

Diplomats (aka Vaqueros - 1973; merged with VK - 1974) don't know how the name came about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluzes Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 A Little History Have an Old Friend that wanted to contribute but internet challenged. The United Organization of Eastern Junior Corps: The UOEJC: BSGK, Garfield, 27th Lancers, Boston Crusaders, Beverly Cardinals, Muchachos, and Blue Rock. The "Combine": This may not have been a "Circuit" but the group went into effect in 1971 to get more prize money out of contest sponsors. It consisted of Troopers, SCV, Madison, Blue Stars and Cavaliers. In October of 1971, at Indianapolis IN corps from the UOEJC and "Combine" revolted against the American Legion Congress turndown of their requests regarding instrumentations, judging and prelim shows to form the DCI. The original members were BSGK,Boston Crusaders, Garfield Cadets, 27th Lancers, Blue Rock, Cavaliers, Troopers, Blue Stars, Madison,and SCV. "Invited" were Anahiem, Argonne Rebels and DeLaSalle Oaklands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluzes Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Some SCV history that is interesting but maybe not news to some. Vanguard (Santa Clara) - Formed after Sunnyvale Sparks dropped drum corps from their organization in March 1967; For some unknown reason the Circuit booklet does not mention G.R. Royer, who was always considered to be the Corps Director (as well as Horn Instructor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
