Had to say Purple Lancers.

Although they really only had a short time in the spotlight,there was something about them that I just really liked!

After Auburn I'd have to say Greece Cadets. Even though they beat the #### out of us, I thought they they had a really nice Class "A" corps.

The Squires followed by Avant Guard.

You missed the Long Island Kingsmen. I know we Long Islanders seem like we are from another state, and there actually was talk back in the 1970's of L.I. seceding from the state of NY, but we were still a part of NY when I aged out in 1980 :P

Weren't Warriors from NYC? I can't remember.

Anyway I voted Greece Cadets. I forget what year it was, 1980 I think, but they opened with Superman and closed with "Home" from the Wiz. At one of the shows up here in Canada (don't get me started on that again....) one of their baris marched out of his pants - in the days before the over-the-shoulder uniform pant design. The poor guy marched the whole show in his tunic and tighty-whiteys.

Cheers

I did say this was an Upstate thing. No offense to the Island.

Poughkeepsie Pacers

CMCC Warriors

Hyde Park Vagabonds

Kingston Indians

Queen City Queens

Mo!

"NY Kingsmen":

If I had a sombrero, I'd toss it in the ring for the 1966-1967 New Yrok Kingsmen. Great hornline, and may have been the first corps to use sterling silver bugles, and Flugel bugles.
