1976 Maple City Cadets

Their uniforms look a lot like the Norwood Park Imperials uniforms.

You beat me to it. Anyone remember their orange sticks at McCormick Place? I'm pretty sure I saw orange sticks that day. Of course I could be wrong.

Sky Writers. Guard down front, on the ground, rifles up. Shocking, I know.

Come on Tommytimp, you gotta explain it better than that. There are youngins who don't know anything about Skyryders rifle line.

What they actually are doing in this picture is throwing a quad or some such, out in front of themselves, then they do a forward roll and end up in the position you see in the picture whereby they catch the aforementioned forwardly thrown quinta hexa, however many revolution toss they were doing. Any questions? Don't ask me cause I don't know how they had the balls to pull off that stunt.....VERY crowd pleasing rifle line.

St. Patrick's Imperials

That looks like the Eau Claire Sundowners to me. St. Patrick Imperials were green, weren't they? In 73, when St. Patricks and the Thunderbolts merged into 'The Thing' and wore both corps' uniforms, I am pretty sure the Imperials uniforms were green jackets with kilts.

The Imperials might have had a kilted player or two on the field ala 27th, but it was never a part of the corps proper uniform.

I just went through a collection of old color photos I have of Midwestern corps, and that uniform DOES look exactly like the early 1970s Eau Claire Sundowners. It's hard to discern the color (in the posted photo). If they are blue, then it would probably be the Sundowners. The photo does have a green tinge to it, but then all the Kodak color film in the 1967-1973 years was faulty, and photos often had a yellow or green tinge to them.
