Snapps Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 QUOTE(jonnyboy @ Jan 8 2006, 08:01 PM) But I also know most are gone for a reason. Can we please let them RIP? Yeah, they're gone for a reason or two, but that doesn't mean that we should forget them. I think it's great that people want to see these corps return, even though we all know the probabilities of that happening are slim to none. So...talk them up folks! Remember them! Wish them back all you want! It's a great compliment to those corps and the people that were part of them. Well said............ the reason why i started this thread is for 2 reasons (1) this is a forum and personal thoughts should be shared and not judged (2) to me most of the corps today take drumcorps to seriously always wanting to win etc etc .... to me the older corps like VK, Bridgmen had fun on the field and they entertained the crowd in a way that was different to Blue devils , SVC PR etc for 1 minute I am not saying that corps today are bad i just think it was a different style of show in the 80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeD Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I am having one of those weekends wher i am flicking through various shows from the 80's and I miss corps like the velvet knights, Bridgmen etc etc and my point is that although they never won DCI when they went out they played their hearts out and enjoyed themselves 100 % I would love to see these corps return as competing corps in the future. What corps do you all miss and would like to see return as competing corps?? Folks have said some of my favorites...I'd add to it three more.... Blessed Sacrament Golden Knights...yes, there is an alumni corps that is wonderful...but this thread asks for competing and they were my personal favorite growing up in the 60's. Blue Rock...for 1971 alone...what a great corps...with the worst busses in the world! :) St Lucy's Cadets....1966 and 1969 shows are two of my favorites.

kansasDC Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Black Gold There is a new junior corps trying to start in Tulsa. Hopefully they'll make it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cainan Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Well heck, at least in 4 pages and 39 replies, ONE person said Freelancers... Other than the afore mentioned Freelancers, for me the list would comprise of: Star of Indiana Sky Ryders Black Gold Railmen Suncoast Sound Velvet Knights Marauders Arizona Sun Sunset Regiment Troopers Argonauts Argonne Rebels Bridgemen Dutch Boy (as I remember them... No offense intended to the current incarnation) Stockton Commodores Valley Fever California Dons Emerald Knights Academie Musicale Florida Wave Guardsmen 27th Lancers Memphis Blues Brass Band Northern Aurora Genesseo Knights Patriots And the list could go on and on and on and on............. <**> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
