Can you name the corps??

Not all Midwest DMs !!!

From the left: St. Mary Cardinals, Mariners, Royal Airs, Vasella Musketeers, Chicago Vanguard, Troopers, Kilties, and Nisei Ambassadors.

The lineup is from the Aug 14 1965 contest in Des Plaines IL.

Now for some further ID:

The Mariner DM is John Brazale, who became Phantom Regiment's visual guru.

The bigger RA DM is Mike Ramelli, who went on to run hornlines for Nisei and the Guardsmen.

The taller Vanguard DM is Donny Hertel, who later became DM of the Anaheim Kingsmen and then wrote drill for their 1972 DCI Championship.

Under the shadow of the Trooper hat is Pete Emmons, famous as the innovator of non-symmetrical drill for 1980 Santa Clara, and now involved in Blue Devil administration.

The runt in the bearskin is multi "showman of the year" Scotty Poulsen, now a contractor in Madison WI specializing in mansions.

And 1965 Kiltie guard Sgt. Tom Prochaska recently retired as Police Chief of Mount Pleasant, a Racine suburb. He lives 3 houses away from me.
