DCN Sept. 12, 1962 issue

MEDINA, N.Y. --- In a recent contest held in this city, and sponsored by the Grenadiers Drum & Bugle Corps, the N.Y. state Crusaders returned from their second place win at the V.F.W. Nationals to beat the Geneva Appleknockers here with a score of 80.7. The Appleknockers sported a score of 78.25.

The contest, the second annual "Drum Corps On The March", was held by the Albion Grenadiers of Albion, N.Y.

The Appleknockers were originally given a score of 77.25, but after realizing a tabulation mistake, the score was changed to 78.25.

Riding in a high third place were the Rochester Grey Knights with a score of 77.5. In fourth place was St. Joseph's of Batavia with a score of 76.75. The Welland, N.Y. Lancers were originally scheduled in the contest lineup, but pulled out to be replaced by that ever-popular "replacing corps" the Geneva Appleknockers.

Judging was done by the New York State Chapter of the All-American Judges Association.
