Favorite NY Corps

[KeithHall]

I am picking my own corps here...Royal Coachmen

[Walter]

How about Avant Garde, they used to beat us a lot!!!!!

They were just this much better that we were!!!!

[tindmac]

Keith,

I can't believe that you left out a corps that at one time or another beat almost everyone of these corps in head to head competition.

ON THE STARTING LINE.... FROM ELMIRA HEIGHTS, NY THE MARK TWAIN CADETS!

Or the Troy Interstatesmen?

Or the Oswego Black Knights?

Or the Southern Tier Grenadiers?

I picked St. Joe's because they performed at the first show I ever attended - 1970 North Americans in Toronto.

Later on in the 70's I particularly remebered the Oswego Black Knights and Fulton Gauchos.

[lp1955]

ST. Ritas Brassmen there shows still stand the test of time.

[KeithHall]

My apologies for leaving many great corps out, I was rushing to finish before I went to a Department Chair Meeting so corps like Avant Garde, Mark Twain Cadets, Tri Town Cadets, Alpine Girls, Firebirds, etc were left off. Sorry everybody!!!!

The Poughkeepsie Pacers were enjoyable in the late 60's. They always seemed to be at shows in Connecticut when BAC appeared there.

Of course the corps we miss most would be the Flushing Toileteers. They were almost as good as the Falmouth Flounders and the Islington Lizzards from Massachusetts.
