1954 Blessed Sacrament Golden Knights

Below: '54 Knights, with Bill Hayes and Mrs. R. Thompson, Aug. 7, 2004

Although many members are alumni of the junior and senior competing corps, the Golden Knights is not exclusively an alumni organization. There are no age limits, and we have several couples, parent-daughter/son and entire family groups as members. Our goal is to preserve the legacy of the Golden Knights while promoting friendship and camaraderie through our mutual interest: good old-fashioned Drum and Bugle Corps!

If you're interested in attending a rehearsal or performance or, even better yet, joining us in this noble pursuit, contact our director, Art Farrell, at 732-747-3041 or write to artidccomcast.net.
