I remember the N.Y. Skyliners 1948////100% WW2 Vets....I was 5 my brother 13 just joined a Junior Corps... Kingsman,,,, taught to blow a horn at 5....could have made the horn line at 8 but too young...We played one valve bugles....ONLY Soprano & Baritone....later one French horn...Drum Corps very patriotic, American Legion sponsored "distinct sound"....Our instructors the greats from the Skyliners. I remember must have been 50-51 opened the rules 30 % did not need be WW2 vets in the Skyliners same as in the Cabs.. "People get older & move on" The N.Y Skyliners so good won 39 out of 41 competitions in the 40's...Sat in the stands nobility on the Field. My brother and sister Color Guard, aged out 1955...I now 11 Earned my uniforn...decent case and bugle....The bugle I earned was friend of my brother both on the horn line...Sonny as we knew him was later awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor a Marine Captain now from N. Y 1966 I was so disappointed The new Corps wasn't the caliber of the old Corps....so I quit. end of 1955. I think.

I was a member of the Black Knights from DCNY (1988-1995). This brings tears to my eyes of both joy and sorrow. The joy that drum corps brought to my life and the friends I made of the years. The sorrow is that I have missed being a part of drum corps in my adult years and the friends that I've lost touch with over the years. Hats off to the Hawthorne Caballeros. A corps steeped in deep tradition and pride. Good show.

Love the drum corps of the 1960's and 1979; I was in a corps in the 1960's. During those decades corps played recognizable music and did a patriotic song to present the American flag. Today, a major part of every "song" is just a series of unrecognizable notes that were arranged by some PhD in Music, taken from some concerto in D Minor, and an American flag isn't even carried by a corps onto the field. Today's uniforms, if you can call them a uniform, are more like gym clothes. The overall show is like watching a stage crew change the scenes in a Broadway theater, pushing platforms, slides, ladders, wheels, etc. into position. There, I have vented!

ALL corps from 1980 till now have been standing on the shoulders of the Hawthorne Caballeros from the 70's and 80's . The CABS are an American Treasure - and have been the model and inspiration for many corps that followed. Current generation of corps are actually 'pros' - but they seem to all basically sound the same. They are creative (maybe a little too band-like at times ) To see the Best of any show - it's the 1977 Hawthorne show - this shows the corps in it's prime and the soloists are incredible with the old-style horns and a DM - Jimmy at his best. - Haven't seen a Hawthorne performance lately that even comes close. So 'Old School' was definitely the Best School for Sr. Corps. . . .

Some of these guys have been with the CABS since the 50's (color guard). Flamenco Cha Cha written by Joe Genero has been played since the late 50's. The ending was written in 1976 and embellished ever since. Jimmy Russo, drum major was in a terrible accident that lost his wife and he in a coma, colostomy, and was put on steroids for life. There are too many stories to tell with this Champion Cab's Corps. created in 1946 by Jim Costello and fellow WWII Veterans of American Legion Post 199. God Rest The Souls of all CABS who have passed on, and to all who have marched with the competing and alumni corps, God Bless.

I wonder if he remembers.

In my opinion, DCI, is the reason for the demise of one of those greatest activities in North America. DCI, turn the activity into a marching band competition, superimposed on a three ring circus, then DCA followed suit. We no longer have real drum and bugle Corps is today. May they all rest in peace. Drum Corps International needs to change that name to marching band International, just call it what it really is today. February 3rd 2023. I have nothing against marching bands, they're great, just don't call them drum and bugle Corps. Big difference, no comparison.
