Not sure what to make of this. I was looking at some things on Ebay
with the search words "drum corps" and happened to come across a
listing of an album from Drums Along the Riverside recorded in 1962 in
MA. Among the corps there (as the Ebay listing says) were the Gay
Blades (!). LOL.
Isn't it funny and interesting how the meaning of "Gay Blades" had an
entirely different meaning then than it does now?
Actually it would be very interesting to find out more information on
this drum corps called Gay Blades (yes... LOL I'm still grinning).
Fascinating. Anyone have any information about them? Guess I could get
the album and find out for myself possibly or contact the seller of
the album.

My father, Roland A. Cassey was a Washington Carver Gay Blade. He still talks about how good they were. And he still likes to go Drum Corps comps in Clifton, NJ. He's 78 now. God bless him. Glad to see how many people appreciate those bands. I loved reading all the comments here. It made me happy. :)with the search words "drum corps" and happened to come across a
