Timplan Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) . . . but, of all the great, now defunct corps of the past (DCI era only), how would you rank the degree to which they are missed? Consider: - Contributions to Innovation and Advancements in the Activity - Fan Popularity and Entertainment Value - Competitive Success and Longevity - Visibility Outside the Activity - Image / Strength of Identity - General Drum Corps “Lore” I’ll start: 1) 27th Lancers 2) Bridgemen 3) Star of Indiana* 4) Anaheim* 5) Argonne 6) Muchachos 7) Kilties 8) Suncoast Sound 9) Oakland 10) VK 11) Guardsmen 12) Glassmen 13) Freelancers 14) Sky Ryders 15) Seneca 16) North Star 17) Magic 18) Black Knights 19) Blue Rock 20) Bleu Raiders 21) St. Rita's 22) Blessed Sac Edited August 23, 2019 by Timplan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHall Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 There are hundreds more to add to this list. The one's in your list were/are ALL important. It saddens me that they are gone! The corps will never return and what we had in the 1970's and 1980's will never happen. All we have are our memories and hopefully a video. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironlips Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) Stockton Commodores Des Plaines Vanguard Avant Garde.....and on and on. Of course, there are dozens more, and the amazing thing is that they all had distinct, clearly defined identities.
