CARNEGI HALL/72ND Season/Saturday Evening, May 16, 1964,at 8:00 o' clock

DRUM CORPS NEWS
Presents
"AN EVENING WITH THE CORPS."

Dedication

Since its inception in 1962, the Drum Corps News' "Evening with the Corps at Carnegie Hall" has grown in stature to become one of the highlights of the drum corps season.

As in the past years, tonight's show spotlights many of the top junior and senior drum and bugle corps in the country in what for many of them will be their initial appearance of the season.

In addition to presenting many of the recognized championship corps on the same stage where many of the acknowledged greats of music have appeared. "An Evening with the Corps" has also pioneered in introducing many promising new corps to the public. Appearing for the first time at Carnegie Hall this year are the Ballantine Brewers, Geneva Appleknockers, O.L.P.H. Ridgemen, St. Rocco's Cadets, and the Bronx Kingsmen.

Just as this show signals the opening of the drum corps season for many, the World Open Championship, inaugurated by Drum Corps News last fall, provides a fitting climax. The 1963 champions, Blessed Sacraments Golden Knights of Newark, N.J. and the Skyliners of Yonkers, N.Y. will appear on the program tonight and will be presented with flags emblematic of their titles by Raymond G. Samora, Publisher of Drum Corps News.
