sky Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 (edited) Hi, all Fun thread. Yes it does bring back memories. Several comments on the thread regarding York - PA... York White Roses started as a senior corps with AL Post 127 in York...PA. They competed from the 1940s - late 50s and had moderate success against many corps, including Cabs, Archie, Reilly, Westshoremen, Yankee Rebels, Rockets, others. About a dozen of members went to / from the USAF D&BC at Bolling AFB, Washington (three from the junior corps later went to the USAF Academy corps, one to the USAF Pipe Band at Bolling). The junior corps was formed by the AL post after the Srs disbanded and after 2 years of parades, hit the field in 62 or 63. They won PA AL and VFW state championships from 67-69 (Richee Price played for the White Roses Junior corps during this run and was one of several excellent soloists) then went into decline and folded in the early 70s. Independently, some members of the previous corps formed a senior corps in 1974-75 and joined RCA where they competed for two seasons before folding for, probably, the last time. I played snare with the junior corps and then, after the service, taught DL for the RCA corps. AND....I think there was also another RCA corps from Ohio in the mid 70s as well: Ohio Brass Factory. Don't remember much about them other than John Flowers worked with the drum line for a couple years.
