Forgot about that. That's true. Also @greg_orangecounty the Kingsmen were from Anaheim, Orange and one other city I think too, right? Though many of these changes listed on the thread were sponsor (VFW/AL or otherwise) related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember them being announced from Anaheim, Orange County, and (90% sure on this) from Placentia.

They actually put a pretty decent corps together in a very short time. Edited November 20, 2023 by Terri Schehr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEA didn't want to manage them anymore, and they had someone in San Antonio who was willing to take them on. The worst move would have been to fold. the groups here in PA could have done it, but keeping them local was viewed as more of an issue than the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Madison helped Southwind out financially one year bringing them under their umbrella, and then Southwind bought themselves back out from under the next year or 2 later.

The Blessed Sacrament church in Newark stopped supporting the Golden Knights, and they moved to Union NJ their last year. Happened a lot.

That may have happened. I just wasn’t aware of it. I remember Cap Sound people, myself included, getting all the cast off equipment despite having the kids and parents who worked all the fundraisers. We were steamed about Southwinds new food truck in 1999. Seems trivial now but at the time… 🔥 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
