JerseyDigger29 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I'd add, also 70's style, 1970 finalist:Boys of 76 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yea, Boys (Spirit) of 76. America's OLDEST drum corps (until they went inactive). I marched with them in the early 70's. Anyone remember our "screech," Jim Stapleman? Know what he's doing with himself now? Also the Chicago Connection and "Big Louie!" b**bs -- Thom B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaguardguy Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 If I recall the Lehigh Valley Knights were a Junior corps. They were started by the management of the Chieftains Sr Corps <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, the Chieftains Sr. D&BC last competed in 1999, and LVK was formed out of the Chieftains Nov. 2000. We did do a number of DCA shows as LVK (especially Reading, PA), averaging between 1-2 a summer. Those shows were always some of the most fun. What great audiences!

JimF-LowBari Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Top of my list:Rhode Island Matadors. One of the most entertaining corps in DCA history, IMO. Fran <{POST_SNAPBACK}> D'OH!!!! How could I forget them? But then Ritchie Price would have to decide between Mats and Empire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 But then Ritchie Price would have to decide between Mats and Empire. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't forget Ritchee's other two DCA corps... Buccaneers and Sunrisers. Fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kusankusho Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Have to say Niagara Regionaires, because I marched there. As for Royalaires, the Alumni corps is re-forming and is practicing in Guelph every Wednesday starting tonight. The exec is looking at doing parades but also wants to get to a point where the corps can put a show on the field. I agree - more Canadian corps!!!
