Favorite California Corps

[SomeOtherJoe]

Just realized how cool it was to grow up around drum corps in California... got to march with 4 of the top 5 DCI corps on the list.

Put me down for BD.

You put on Hollywood Knights....but not Dream????

One would think the California Dons would get more run than the Hollywood Knights.

This was a toughy, mostly because I've never seen/heard of some of these corps; but if I chose BD as my number one because they were the corps that really got me into DCI

two would have to be SCV and the VK is a close third.

Yeah, you'd think. I mentioned it way back when the poll started and they still aren't on the list!

If memory serves, Hollywood Knights competed in a total of three shows and never broke a 30. Edited June 2, 2007 by VKMello84

No...that is not quite accurate. Lol.

Hollywood Knights were a respectable corps in the early 80's and might have placed in the Div. 1 top 24. (For all you youngsters, that's comparable to the top 17 nowadays. The top 24 made it to semis.) We marched against them in '82 and '83 and I think they started to peter out or folded in '84. I'm almost certain that they got scores above 30.
