Hurricanes Keep Win Streak Clear
Drum Corps News Sept 12, 1962 issue

MILFORD, Conn., Aug. 25 - The fast moving, smooth machine operated by the Conn. Hurricanes and engineered by drum major Bob Daniels, swept through five Northeastern competitors here tonight and remained the only corps unbeaten in Circuit meets this year.

The contest was held in connection with the choosing of a Miss Connecticut to represent the State in the Miss World contest later this year and was completely filmed for television Channel 8 (Conn.) to be shown Sept. 9 prior to the Yankee Baseball game.

Although the judges had trouble keeping their mind on the corps with 13 bathing beauties walking back and forth, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that the Hurricanes could not be touched here tonight. Their closest competition, the Carver Gay Blades, are showing steady improvement but had to settle for a five point margin and second place.

Third place went to the Sunrisers of Long Island, followed by the Torrington Vagabonds, New Rochelle Wanderers and Byram Stateliners.

The scores:
Hurricanes ............ 86.216
Carver .................. 81.133
Sunrisers .............. 78.833
Vagabonds ........... 74.566
Wanderers ........... 71.366
Stateliners ............ 68.050
