Notes

  1. In late 1974, the Hornets merged with the Keystone Regiment of Newtown Square to form the Crossmen
  2. Allegiance Elite merged with the Strutters of Edmonton in 2004 to form Fusion.
  3. The Ambassadors merged with the Oakland Crusaders in 1986 to form a new corps called Out of the Blue. The name was never used in competition and they became the Oakland Crusaders.
  4. The Amvet Brigadiers were active from 1962 on. They appeared at the New York Worlds Fair in 1963. They appeared in parades only for approximately the first two years before competing in competition, first in the "Mayflower" conference, and then later in Eastern Massachusetts conference. Around 1966, a second junior corps was added called The Lancers; then a third corps around 1969.
  5. Formerly known as Spartan Cadets
  6. Blue Angels merged with the Reveries in 1975 to form the Blue Angels/Reveries (Blueveries)
  7. Though still active, the Blue Star Cadets added woodwinds to their program in 2004, and thus are no longer a drum corps.
  8. In 1974 the Bluewater Lionaires changed their name to the Bluewater Buccaneers
  9. Formerly known as Most Precious Blood Crusaders; Hyde Park Crusaders; Boston
  10. The Cadets of Brooklyn merged with the Kips Bay Knight Club Drum Corps in 2000 to form the Cadets of New York City.
  11. Formerly known as Cadets of Bergen County; Garfield Cadets; Holy Name Cadets
  12. The CapitolAires merged in 1995 with the Madison Junior Scouts to form Capital Sound
  13. The Emerald Knights was formed in 1981 and performed as an Open or Division III Corps until it went inactive in 2003.
  14. The Edmonton Strutters Drum & Bugle Corps reorganized in the summer of 1974 under the name 1st. Canadian Regiment. It then changed back to Edmonton Strutters again in 1988.
