From the Pacific Northwest:
Salem Flamingoes (became the Argonauts in 75)
Salem Argonauts (were the Flamingoes - DCI associate 76, 77 and a few
times in the mid 80s. Now a youth band, chorus and
other youth music activities.)
Black Watch (from Washington, south side of Seattle)
Who (evolved into the Maruders?)
Vancouver Spartans
Crusaders (one of many corps with that name. This one was from
the Oregon City region (SE of Portland))

There were more but my memory fades. There use to be a drum corps circuit
Northwest Drum Corps Association (NWDCA) out here. I remember marching
at the championships, after returning from DCI, either in 76 or 77 (or both).

As you can see in the late 60's early 70's the Northwest was a hot place
for Drum Corps. High insurance costs and the need to travel nationwide was
to much for the organizations budgets to handle.

I am not sure if I would classify these two corps as obscure. Finleyville
was a top 12 corps for 1 or two years in the '70s, and I think that the
Greece Cadets one the Class A championship at least one year.

Oh well..that's what happens when drum corps changed from a means
of a community to serve its youth, into an end that serves
itself. Age-outs are now passed mercenary values instead of a
desire to give back. It exchanged civic, community, and veteran
support for staff creativity.

Gordy you old fart! How are you? Wondered if anyone was ever going to
mention Satans Angels. Didn't expect anyone to mention Angels of Ohio,
but the senior corps finished 6th in '54. Good to hear from you. We're
still in Fredericksburg, Va. Had tickets for Allentown, but a surprise
kidney cancer put me in the hospital, and had to give them up. Let us
know how you're doing.
