Reveries Become First N.E. Corps To Defeat Cabs
Drum Corps News Aug.29, 1962

On Sunday, July 22nd, the Immaculate Conception "Reveries" of Revere, Mass. did what no other New England Drum Corps has done this season; that is, defeated the Cambridge Caballeros.

Though the scores were indeed close, the margin of victory for the "Reveries" a scant thirty five hundredths of a point, the victory could not have been more convincing or timely.

In this contest, held under the sponsorship of the Norwood "Debonnaires", the "Reveries" took top marks in inspection, bugles, and general effect. Ironically, it also marked the first time this season the "Reveries" failed to capture or tie for first in the marching and maneuvering caption. But their full point advantage in general effect more than compensated for the "Cabs" edge in marching and maneuvering and drumming.

Placing third were the Boston Crusaders who, though nearly three points behind, showed the type of spirit and drive that, if continued, will surely lift this unit to it's former height of greatness.

The final scores:
I.C. Reveries ............ 86.45
Camb. Cabs .............. 86.10
Boston Crusaders .... 83.25
