West Newton and Lyndora Drum Corps Win First Prizes in Street Competition
Rain Scatters Spectators But Marchers Give Excellent Performance
- If the rain had held off just half an hour longer, or the parade had started when scheduled, hundreds mere spectators would have witnessed one of the most colorful parades in the history of Sewickley Saturday night. However, as it was, crowds of visitors who lined the curbs from the Sewickley High School to the ‘Y’ scattered for cover and many went home before seeing the parade. Others ought shelter in front of store fronts or under trees and watched and applauded the ten visiting Drum and Bugle Corps, sponsors with the Harvest Festival Committee. The parade couldn’t get started earlier, as the visitors had to come some distances and couldn’t start early enough to make the 7:80 o’clock deadline.
As usual, tlie Sewickley police car led the parade and police and firemen were stationed along Beaver Street, which had been cleared of cars for the parade. The Sewickley High School Band made an impressive picture in their new uniforms and were applauded even as flashes of lightning split the dark, threatening sky.
The Queen and her court and their escorts started out between the drum corps, bravely seated on tlie turtle decks of convertibles, but as the rains came, the tops were put up and the court pro.-ceeded under cover.
Tlie Lyndora girl’s junior drum and bugle corps, which won first prize in their class with a score of 95.46, was preceded by color guards and wore blue jackets, white skirts and blue cockades on their hats. The Meridian Fife and Drum Corps, which won second prize in the junior division with a score of 88.40, wore red jackets and blue skirts and their twirlers carried lighted batons.
The Turtle Creek corps, which took third prize witli a. score of 75.73, wore blue skirts with light grey jackets and tall hats. The Perrysville Volunteer Fire.
Company girl junior corps was fourth with 67.88. The members wore scarlet jackets and grey skirts^
The senior drum corps followed with the eventual winner, the West Newton Drum Corps leading that section of the parade. West Newton had dancing drum majorettes with lights in their boots and the dark blue and gold uniforms were covered with yellow jackets. They won applause by tlieir snappy marching and the verdict of tlie crowd was shared by the All-American judges, as they awarded 'die corps the first prize, with a score of 95.30.
The Latrobe corps, which won second honors with a score of 93.25, wore white crossed belts over their blue and grey uniforms and wore white plumes on dieir pointed white helmets. The corps representing the Walter S. Both Post, American Legion at Rochester, won third prize with a score of 90.076. They wore orange jackets and white trousers and orange cockades on their hats.
Sharpsburg’s Cadets, with their light tan uniforms with maroon stripes and red-topped hats, came in fourth with a score of 86.57. The Vern Acklin Memorial Corps of Verona was fifth with 83.23. They wore maroon and white uniforms with cockades in tlieir hats and had a color guard, crossed white belts and a lyre. Vandergrift, which was next with a score of 82.873, were led by a color guard, four twirlers with lighted batons, and wore dark blue uniforms, military caps trimmed in gold braid.
Bringing up the rear was the East Liverpool American Legion truck and then the Post 4 corps with their white combat helmets, blue and gold uniforms and the majorettes with lighted batons.
The Harvest Queen and die ladies of her court were escorted to the ‘Y’ in the parade by tlie following ’squires:
