MiamiSun76 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I'd vote for St. Catherine's Queensmen. Particularly if you're including individual achievements by people like John Sasso, Frank Dorritie, Billy Cobham, Bill Hightower.............

elphaba01 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I'd vote for St. Catherine's Queensmen. Particularly if you're including individual achievements by people like John Sasso, Frank Dorritie, Billy Cobham, Bill Hightower............. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "NY's Most Successfull": St Catherine's is our personal fave. They went the farthest (In the early 1960s) to break the stanglehold that "North Jersey" had on 'Metro' competition. The individuals mentioned above, and their 60-61 horn instructors Joe Genero & Bill Hayes were a big part of their sucess story. St Joseph's of Batavia is most likely the "Most Successfull" competitivly over the course of the 1960s decade, as they toured to Nationals, placed in Fianals almost every time, and managed to defeat almost all the Natioanlly Rated contendders of that ere at one time or another.

KeithHall Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 First of all....I apologize for leaving St. Ignatius Girls off the list. Being from upstate NY I (and others) tend to forget about the Islanders. I would have to say the Iggies did do a fantastic job in All-Girl Class and should be mentioned. But mainly I was looking at corps that I remember in the 70's. Tom Peashey and Dick Hoppe should've have jumped in since they have a better historical perspective of NY drum corps than I do. I just try to get something going and have fun here, nothing more. Please accept my apologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CODI Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Isn't it a shame that 4 corps were not even mentioned in the poll. All four of them were on one of Fleetwood Recording Company's best recordings. They are as follows: St. Cathrine's "Queensmen Seldon "Golden Lancers" Floyd Bennett " Golden Eagles" Our Lady of Loretto I hope you will try and get a copy of the CD and see what these corps could do with a single valve and slide "bugle" CODI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
