Marianne Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Well, my memories of 70's competitions are a bit different, cause I was in the Great Plains Association comps..... Continental Ambassadors, Salina Silver Sabres, Plainsmen (later became Tri-Vel Raiders after a merge I believe), Valient Knights, Eldoradans, Crimson Cadets, Young Admirals, Frontiersmen, Trooper Cadets. I think Troopers showed up once or twice at these GPA contests. And Argonne Rebels and Sky Ryders came out of GPA too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were on before us one of those years I was their percussion arranger/instructor in 76/77 (the last year as the King's Regiment after a merger).
