Paul Milano Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Corps from Milwaukee . . . The Crusaders (of the Crusader Gladiators merger) were originally the St. Gregory the Great Crusaders. Joe Bruno was our first drum major, and John Brazale was our drill instructor (1962). You need to be more specific about St. Matthias, for there were the Cadets and the Preps (a "C" corps for the "B" corps). How about the Chordaliers (our arch rivals)? Would you believe I still have corps buttons for all of these corps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiodb Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 3) Name the 2 drum corps from Eau Claire. That is tricky, because even though there are only two corps, they had at least five names between them. They were the Eau Claire Scouts/Eau Claire Boys/Sundowners, and their feeder unit, the Eau Claire Preps/Sundowner Cadets. 4) Name the 2 drum corps from Oshkosh. There may have been three - Warriors, Warrior Cadets and Marauders (unless the Marauders were just one of the former corps under a new name). 8) Name the city known in '76 as home to "Blue Stars East". Sheboygan. 10) What is the original name of the West Bend Patriots?? West Bend Patriots (hey, someone has to guess that). 11) In '75, 2 WI corps came OTL with "Everything's Coming Up Roses" Name them. CapitolAires and Royal Knights.

uncle z Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 Dan Guernsey, even though you think you fracked, for getting #1 and #2 right, go to any head shop on State St., get a pair of Groucho glasses with the fake nose, tell them "this one's on uncle z", and then go to Halloween dressed up as one of '75 Scouts tymp line!! b**bs Paul Milano, I can only give you honorary Badgerland status. However, due to your excellent knowledge of Milwaukee d & b, stop at Mars Cheese Castle on 94 on the way back to Illinois and get a five pound block of cheese on uncle z. Unfortunately, you must then stop at KFC in Schaumberg ala '76 Guardsmen and share your cheese with a fan yelling "splooie" in one ear and another fan yelling "SUTA" in the other <**> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
