chefdan Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 Okay, shoot..... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mr. BRAGA; The question that I have,concerns the VERY early Kingsmen...(So,maybe you know of someone that might have the knowlage of it's reason...) In my 1st years of drum corps,I remeber seeing "The Blue Rock",from Wilmington,Del.I noticed that their uniforms,and those of the Kingsmen,were almost "exactly"the same...But,could never figure-out why a corps named "Blue Rock"had BRIGHT YELLOW "Cadet" jackets? so,I asked a few of the "Senior Members"...and was told that the same company had made BOTH uniforms...But,because of a "Shipping Error",the orders were sent to the "wrong corps"... It was too late in the season to do anything about it,so, that's why ANAHEIM was in "BLUE",and Blue Rock was in "Yellow"....Any Truth to that????(it has "bugged me"for all these years) THANX!

DANIEL <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Glad to see your back, I enjoyed, and was also a big AK fan. So on that note, "So very hard to go" {Tower of Power 1974 AK exit} Did you get my Pm concerning the "Little BARI PLAY not so good " ?

Walter Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 So if this is true, do you mean that the Seneca Optimists were using BLUE ROCK's OLD uniforms???? Can anyone clarify this for me??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone clarify this for me??? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, I know the old BR unis were worn by Avant Garde....don't know if Seneca had them prior. Y'know....that story about a possible shipping error is the first time I've ever heard anyone explain the yellow on Blue Rock...it actually makes sense, but I'll wait for confirmation....

DANIEL <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wooooaaaaaaaa. Okay, I will ask my old timer friends and see if any of this is true. That is an excellent question. However, I doubt it, as the Kingsmen were orginally in blue satin so to go to yellow would be quite a jump. But as I said, I will ask. Good frigg'n question though.

DANIEL <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Our cadets were ordered in blue. Kingsmen colors were always blue and black. Maybe they just don't want to admit they actually ordered that color. _________________ Chuck $#@% Soprano Garden Grove Grenadiers 1964 Kingsmen 1965-1969 U.S. Navy Drum and Bugle Corps 1972 There you have it.

More Historical "RANTING",soon! Always DANIEL B) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The xkingsmen site is attracting more alumni than ever. There is even some discussion of revivng the Kingsmen to field a corps in the future. The talk is mostly preliminary and informal, but the desire is their. There are a variety of opinions in the forum and their are some rare photos and old souvenirs to view and download. Thanks for the shout out.
