some old corps photos

Actually, the ORIGINAL 20th Maine Regiment is credited with winning the Battle of Little Round Top, by charging the hill and screaming like banshees and forcing a confederate retreat......the interesting part of this is that the 20th Maine had already run OUT OF AMMO! (Those crazy Mainers!)

The C O was Col. Joshua Chamberlain, of Brunswick, ME, and when the 20th Maine Regiment Drum & Bugle Corps was founded in 1984, we adopted their orginal logo, a maltese cross which very closely resembles the Crossmen's logo.

Sorry for the history lesson...back to your regular programming> :)

I heard they all were cross-eyed and couldn't shoot straight anyway! (Kidding of course) :)

Banshees? They screamed like banana liquor-flavored ice cream drinks?
