Caballeros Alumni
Unveil New Color Guard Uniform
 At
a recent practice the corps was presented with a prototype of the new
uniform the flag and rifle lines will be wearing starting the 2008
season. While still keeping the traditional look and color scheme
of the original uniform, the new uniform will be more tailored to
compliment the female form, something the original uniform was never
intended to do. The standard sombrero and white uniform blouse
will remain, with the addition of a black bolero with silver trim and
black gauchos.
The corps is very excited about the upcoming season as it looks to top
the power-packed show of last year. There are still positions
available in both the flag line as well as the newly developed rifle
line. So, if you've been getting the urge to get back on the field
and relive some great memories, there's no time like the present to make
it happen.
The corps' next rehearsal for all sections is Sunday April 6th from 10am
to 5pm at American Legion Post 199 in Hawthorne. Come down and
join the excitement!

Who are
the Caballeros Alumni Corps?
 Organized
in 1994, the Hawthorne Caballeros Alumni Drum & Bugle Corps is now in
its 15th season. Representing American Legion Post 199 of
Hawthorne, New Jersey, the Alumni Corps celebrates an earlier era and
the proud tradition of one of the all-time great senior corps, the
world-famous Hawthorne Caballeros. The Alumni Corps is
staffed by many of those who "were there" when those fifteen American
Legion National Championships and the eight DCA World Championships were
won.
