KeithHall Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Since the Rochester Patriots are inactive for 2004 I started thinking about what happened to all the corps I remember: Mark Twain Cadets Southern Tier Grenadiers Barons of Stuben Mello Dears Castlemen Verona Eagles Syracuse Marauders Oswego Black Knights Mighty Liberators Cadets of Greece Firebirds Alpine Girls Tri-Town Cadets Imperial Regiment/Lakeview Shoreliners Royal Coachmen Southern Tier Express Lockport Blazers/Renegades Long Island Kingsmen St.Ignatius Girls I am sure the list could go on and on. Those were just some I could remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins Glen Squires Islanders (used to call them the "7-Up" corps...they were sponsored by 7-Up and had unis in green and orange, with a 7-Up patch on their shoulder.... Greenwood Lake Lakers..who merged with the Wayne NJ Monarchs to become the King's Regiment. Plus of course the many NYC corps. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elphaba01 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 "Gone But Definitly NOT Forgotten": St Catherines Queensmen Selden Cadets Our Lady of Loretto Knights Floyd Bennet Golden Eagles OLPH Ridgemen NY Kingsmen St Josephs Patron Cadets Babylon Islanders Smithtown Freelancers CMCC Warriors Manhattanaires Carter Cadets Knickerbockers St Roccos Cadets Staten Island Lawmen Staten Island Thunderbirds I'm sure there are quite a few more "Metro" New York corps that have been missed (my apologies). The above listed come to mind. Elphaba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHall Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 I didn't mean to leave corps out, it was off the top of my head after dealing with middle school band kids (end of the year). Yes Avant, Auburn, Squires, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 (edited) Hey guys: The same thing happened here!!!! Farewell to the height of the activity in Ontario, Canada: De la salle Oaklands Etobicoke Crusaders Oakland Crusaders Toronto Optimists Seneca Princemen Seneca Optimists Flying Dutchmen Dutch Boy Cadets Northstars Cadets Lasalle Cardinals of Precious Blood Peterborough Krecendos Ventures All-Girls Durham Girls Ambassadors from Aurora/Newmarket Simcoe Golden Lions Sarnia's Marching Angels Bluewater Buccaneers Bobcaygeon St. Andrews Burlington Commanders Guelph Royalairers Emerald Knights Hanover Girls Markham Collegettes Leamington Townsmen Windsor Guardsmen St. John's Girls Canadian Knights Toronto Optimist Cadets Guelph Opti-knights London Midlanders I'm sure there may be a couple that I missed but none the less where the heck did they ALL GO!!!!!!!! Most of these corps were from the 70's but all are gone except for Dutch Boy and St. John's both a shadow of what they once were but rebuilding just the same!!!!
