KeithHall Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Other than Joel Alleyne, what other names come from this corps? The only time I saw them was their last time at Butler, PA show and half the corps passed out after the last note that was held out for ever!

OldSnareDrummer Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Joel was the drum major that went on to the Oakland Crusaders, wasn't he? Quite the showman ala (arrghh what was his name) from the Chicago Vanguard. First saw DeLasalle in '73 and again in '74. They had rising stars written all over them.

KeithHall Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 I thought it odd that they merged with Etobicoke Crusaders since, at the time, both corps were doing well. I'm guessing that winter took it's toll. I do remember many corps in the Toronto area plus corps in Kitchener-Waterloo area too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 My enduring memory of this corps is their performance at the 1971 U.S. Open finals. They tore the house down that night. Absolutely electric!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindap Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 My brother marched in Del and I knew a few more Dels;) Watched them practice or do half time shows at Del's college football games. Nice campus. Good corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with Blue Rock, Del was the most impressive corps at that show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
