Pittsfield Was Hudson-Berkshire King in 1961
Drum Corps News Sept. 12, 1962 issue

It was noted in the July 25 issue of Drum Corps News, in the cut line story under a photo of the Fairlawn, N.J. "Lawmen", that they were the 1961 Hudson-Berkshire Circuit Champions. Since that time, Drum Corps News has learned that the Lawmen were not in the championship contest held at Green Island, N.Y., and the Pittsfield Boys Club Allumni Corps of Pittsfield, Mass. won that Championship and carry the flag for the 1961-62 season. The Fairlawn Cadets were members of the Hudson-Berkshire Circuit in 1961, but they have since dropped out of the circuit.

The 1960-61 championships were won by the Valiant Crusaders of Rensselaer, N.Y.

The 1962-63 champs for the circuit? This will be decided when the championship contest is held in Pittsfield, Mass. This month.
