Blessed Sac Web-Site

I usually browse some of the other web-sites I have
on my list just to see what's going on with some of
the other now-defunct corps,and I usually click on
to Blessed Sac.They have You-Tube that was set up
not to long ago and its fun to browse through it.
They always seem to add to it,not only from the past
but also the present.

They set up a few video's that they had from 58'
National's in New York,and Dave you would be
intersted in these because they show part of
inspection in Central Park.It shows Blessed Sac and
a few frames of Reilly being inspected as well.

There's also some footage of the contest in Ebbets
Fields.I can't remember if they had a parade as well
at VFW in 58' but there's footage from a parade that
has Sac,St.Vincents and Garfield marching in their
white shorts and tee-shirts,I was really surprised
to see these video's.A lot of great footage and some
of it isn't that clear,but a lot of it is.

If anybody has a chance to spend a little time on
the web-site,especially those of us who were in at
that time you'll be able to relive a little of the
past.

What did you do in the Corps? French Horn

What years were you a Corps member? !957 thru 1963

Rich, a great idea. Their website is really great. Fine photos and facts from the past. GOSH, that corps was great! Really miss them.
