the Dream Contest in the early 50's. I think between 1952-1955, however I
cannot recall which year, however included was a corps from Havre de Grace, Md.
I think they were called the Lancers or some such thing thing. If anyone has
this info, I would appreciate it.

the BAYWAY GRAYS. A prominent member of this corps was Gus Wilke, a current
member of the New York Skyliners Alumni and recent inductee to the World Drum
Corps Hall of Fame. If you have any questions my E-mail address is RMXN.

>Was this a junior or senior corps?
They were a Senior corps. Their last year in competition was 1956. They were
also known as the Lenape Lancers.
There were a number of prominent drum corps people who were members of this
great corps. Hall of Famer Walter Kelly, Drum Major who later became their
Drill Instructor and a chief judge for DCA; Hall of Famer Jim Donnelly who was
one of their first horn instructors and arrangers who was followed by Hall of
Famer George Rodriguez, who was followed by Hall of Famer Bill Hayes. Joe
Mallon was a drummer with OLG and later became their drum instructor and
arranger, who should also be a Hall of Famer. Hall of Famer Gus Wilke played
with OLG til he enlisted in the Marine corps. Other prominent players with OLG
that went on to play in other great Senior corps would be Eddie Barry, solo
soprano and John Altamura, french horn who bother went on to fame with the
Caballeros.
Here's a little trivia for you. Who was the last New Jersey drum corps to beat
the Hawthorne Caballeros? Where was it? And what year was it?

Obviously the New Jersey drum corps to defeat the Caballeros was the Harrison
Bushwackers in 1997 (as well as during the 80's). The question should have
read,
Prior to the Bushwackers (who are and were a fine drum corps in their own
right) who was the last New Jersey drum corps to defeat the Caballeros in field
competition? What year did this occur? and Where did the competition take
place?
This one is for the real "Old-Timers" (and I was use the term with deep

The correct answer is the Sunrisers. Being that Mike said that the REAL
oldtimers would know this, he probably forgot that the Sunrisers lived in
Edison, NJ from 1989-1992.
Joe Dziezawiec
I wasn't there, either...but I was a member of Doremus Sr of Hackensack in
1966-67 when we were a parade corps.
Doremus won the AL Nationals once in the 1930's and once in the 1940's.
They also had a string of New Jersey AL championships until Hawthorne Cabs
started a streak in, I believe, 1950....a streak that lasted until either
the contest ended or Cabs streak ended to Bush. (Not sure about that).

Beautiful....except for the "...be at peace". In fact, that is exactly the
opposite of what you feel.

Well Glen,
As I previously amended my trivia question about the Buswackers to indicate
that they had defeated the Cabs as late as 1997, I question the Sunrisers as
truly being residents of New Jersey. True, they did call Edison, N.J. their
"home" for a brief period as well as North Bergen, N.J. (the same building that
we used for the GAS reunion) "home" as well, it becomes a semantical debate as
to whether or not these locales can actually be considered a "home". Perhaps
someone from the Sunrisers can clear this up. Did they still call themselves
the Long Island Sunrisers? Or did they change their name to the Edison
Sunrisers and then to the North Bergen Sunrisers? It is similar to the "home"
of our own New York Skyliners who, from 1966 called the Saldarini Post in Union
City, N.J. "home" for a number of years before moving to the Joseph Lane AL
Post in Lodi, N.J. and then another move to the AL Memorial Post in Garfield
where they have been calling that building "home" for the past how many years?
Or better yet, did the New York Giants change there name to the East Rutherford
Giants?
And as I recall, didn't the Bushwackers, when they had trouble finding a home
in N.J., resorted to blindfolding one of their snare drummers ("Fast" Frankie
Nash I believe was the one who was blindfolded at the behest of Eddie
Dioguardia) and playing "pin the tail on the donkey" with an Atlas of the
U.S.A. to find a home for the corps. They wound up sticking the pin on
Theomopolis, Wyoming. Was that in 1986? (I guess the Mayor was both estatic and
angry at the same time. Estatic to come to learn that his town was the home of
a World Champion. Angry to find that he would never see his town's World
Championship trophy <G>). They later found a home in Harrison, N.J.
The last New Jersey corps PRIOR to the Bushwackers, is the corps that is the
answer to the trivia question. I will give all who choose to guess til Monday
Nov. 9 at 12:00 noon. HINT: Brooklyn Mario has come the closest so far.
To restate the trivia question:
"Who was the last New Jersey Senior drum corps to defeat the Cabs in
competition PRIOR to the Bushwackers? In what year did this corps beat the
Cabs? And where did this competition take place?"
Glen Johnson
Mike. And they were never called the Edison Sunrisers. They are simply called
"The Sunrisers".

All that is completely different from what Sun did. Sun physically moved to
NJ, announced themselves at every show as being from Edison, NJ, and DCA
records them for the period 1989-1992 as being from Edison, NJ. The corps
hasn't billed itself as "The Long Island Sunrisers" for many years, Mike. In
Sun's case, its not semantics, it was the real thing.
Now, if you want to talk semantics, we can talk about our OWN corps! The only
thing New York about the Skyliners is the name.
By calling a place "home", I wasn't referring to where the corps was hanging
out, I was referring to where they officially represented themselves to be
from, and in Sun's case, that was Edison, NJ for 4 years.

And the answer to that is the Sunrisers. Dem's the fax ma'am! :) Sun moved to
Edison, NJ just before the 1989 season, and if you'll check your 1998 DCA
Yearbook, you'll find the results of the 1989 Championship listed as follows:
1. Bushwackers, Harrison, NJ
2. Sunrisers, Edison, NJ
3. Caballeros, Hawthorne, NJ
And DCA records the Sunrisers as being from Edison, NJ for the 1990, 1991 and
1992 seasons.
So, I think if the corps physically moved to NJ (which they did), announced
themselves at shows as being from Edison, NJ (which they did), and DCA records
them as being from NJ (which they did), I'd say they were from NJ :)
If you still don't believe Sun was a NJ corps, just ask Brad at rehearsal next
weekend. After all, he was their drum major at the time.
RNewman206
Finally found those old slides I took in 1952-1954? including that unnamed
corps in question. Perhaps when I have it transfered to a print we can dertime
what Sr. corp it was and in what year it was in the Dream. In any event the
Dream will always remain my favorite memory of corps and the way things used to
be. By the way is there still a Roosevelt Stadium?
Glen Johnson
> By the way is there still a Roosevelt Stadium?
Nope. Roosevelt Stadium was mowed down in 1981 I think. The last Dream was
held there in 1980. It was at Giants Stadium in 1981, and then Rutgers
University, I think, in 1982. And that was that.

Thank you Glen. Your facts are correct and I won't argue with facts. I was
totally unaware of the fact that Sun had listed themselves as representing
Edison, N.J. (Not being facitious here but where in Edison, N.J. did they call
home? Was it a building that they rehearsed in or a parking lot they used
during the summer months? Again, not being factious with these questions)

I don't know. In '89, I found out they had moved there because my brother
lives in the next town over, and he told me they were rehearsing there. I was
actually tempted to go down there and see if they'd HAVE me, as that was
within a couple years of me having left the Skyliners. But I don't know what
facilities they used there.
I imagine they moved back to NY to put their corps back together, because they
didn't field a corps in '93, and came out in '94 from Long Island.

Interesting. I didn't know that.
Does this football stadium actually occupy any of the territory on which the
stadium stood? Or is that all Society Hill?
There are a number of "Society Hill" developments in NJ, by the way. All built
by the same developer (Shant Hovnanian).

The Football field occupies the area xcloser to route 440, just as you make the
right hand turn onto the road that used to lead to what used to take you the .2
of a mile to Roosevelt Stadium. The area that used to be the Stadium is taken
up by the "Society Hill" townhouses. And, yes, I believe that the developer was
Hovnanian.

Now here is the CORRECT answer:
At a contest in Palmyra, N.J. in the summer of 1953 Our Lady of Grace from
Hoboken, N.J. (AKA the Bayway Grays, Lenape Lancers and Lincoln Park Lancers)
defeated the Hawthorne Caballeros. From that year until 1986 (a span of 33
years) the Hawthorne Caballeros were never beaten by another New Jersey based
Senior drum corps. In 1986 it was the Bushwackers who broke that string.
Sorry Glen, <G> (this is where it gets tricky <G>), the last New Jersey based
Senior drum corps to defeat the Hawthorne Caballeros was the Bushwackers in
1997. Yes, the last New Jersey based Senior drum corps to defeat the Hawthrone
Caballeros prior to the Bushwackers in 1997 were the Sunrisers, BUT, if you
read the trivia question again you will note the it reads, "The last New Jersey
corps PRIOR to the Bushwackers," NOT "The last New Jersey corps PRIOR to the
Bushwackers in 1997,". Since the Bushwackers were the FIRST New Jersey based
Senior corps to defeat the Hawthorne Caballeros in 1986, the CORRECT answer is
OLG from Hoboken, N.J. They also may have the distinction of being the ONLY CYO
sponsored Senior drum corps ever.
I also point out that OLG was the last Senior drum corps to come within .1 of a
point in defeating the Hwathorne Caballeros at the American Legion State
Championships which were held in Wildwood, N.J. that same year (1953). They
lost on a penalty for having two marching members missing that day. If those
two guys would have shown up and competed, and everything else remaining the
same, OLG would have been the AL State Champs that year.
SkyAlumni
number of fine Senior corps over the years that took their shot at defeating
the Hawthorne Caballeros. Some of those that I recall would be: Doremus,
Hackensack; The Carver Gay Blades, Newark; Amboy Dukes, South Amboy; Morristown
Colonials, Morristown; Ballantine Brewers, Newark; Garden Statesmen, Dover and,
as Mario has pointed out, The Jersey Joes from Riverside.

GEEZ. Next time, ask a trivia question that doesn't require a math degree to
understand! :)
So, your question really was "What was the last NJ-based drum corps to beat
the Caballeros before the Bushwackers did?"
See, I can still be right though :) Semantically speaking, The Sunrisers DID
beat the Caballeros before the Bushwackers did. They just didn't beat the
Caballeros before the FIRST time the Bushwackers beat them. But actually, they
did, but they didn't because they weren't a NJ-based corps when they did it!
Hehehehehe!!

This is a fact. I believe however that the name on file is "The New York
Skyliners Senior Drum and Bugle Corps". Say, anyone have a copy of the by-laws
and constitution of this corporation? The name of the corporation would be on
that document. A document that should be, by law, available to ALL members of
the Skyliners, lifetime or present population included.

I don't think so. I think the Grass Corp and the Holton Corp were different
corporations. I believe the name registered now is simply "Skyliners Drum &
Bugle Corps" a registered NJ corporation.
All this is public domain info though; you should be able to get copies of
anything from the State Attorney General's office.

The State Attorney's office only has on file documents certifying that there is
a corporation by whatever name the said corporation is listed under, they do
not have room (disk space) to keep on file copies of each corporations by-laws
and constitution. These are to be supplied, by law, by the corporation itself
to each member in good standing of the corporation who requests a copy. Members
in good standing would be anyone who is a bonafide member as stated in the
by-laws of said corporation. In the case of the Skyliners, this would include
but not be limited to "lifetime" members.

That's okay.....that's okay, no need to thank me. <G> Glad I did, look at what
GREAT friends you guys have become since you joined forces and marched
Skyliners together.

Two different people Andy. Bob E. marched with Gary Bischoff and Bill Verost in
the Fairview RoughRiders back in the 60's. From there he went to the Cabs and
marched with them for awhile. He now plays Euphonium with me down at Archie.
He's been to a few of our Skyliner rehearsal's (sat right behind me as a matter
of fact). Good horn, reads music and all that good stuff. Asked him to sit in a
few times. Guess he's just shy.
How 'bout Bob E., next Sunday bring your horn, sit in and play some of the best
music this side of heaven.
See Ya at Archie's party this Friday night? And Skyliner Alumni rehearsal this
coming Sunday (with your horn of course)?
