At first look I thought this would have been Vaqueros too but now that I see the Sousas it couldn't be. I think I see a couple of flute players in there as well towards the left about 8 players in. I know there were a few youth bands in those years in So Cal that performed at drum corps shows but the only one I remember was Whittier Cavaliers and this is not them.

As late as 83/84, I remember competing against or being at shows with youth bands-generally in shows hosted by the smaller circuits. These were usually shows that featured Class A corps only.

I remember some summer bands performing at DCI shows in California in the mod-late 90s as well...96 might've been the last year.

I was unaware it might've happened as far back as 74.

Sorry my mistake, this is a youth band. I don't know which one though. I have another picture of the Whittier Cavaliers Youth Band that I didn't include. I don't know how far back the youth band tradition goes. I know there was a band at the opening of finals in 1980.

If I recall, they are the Carson Caballeros. They had a bunch of ex-Kingsmen instructors. They always had a decent drumline taught by a guy named Bob Bonnie (or something like that). I remember them playing Mambo like the Kingsmen in 74 AT Vfw Nationals in Los Angeles in the band division.

You know, Geneseo's getting too good too fast. Let's do something that will cripple the organization forever! 61.

That Geneseo Knight corps was amazing! I heard them when they stayed in North Tonawanda, NY that year and they blew me away with "Ruslan and Ludmilla."

That was 1983. And you're welcome.
