There has been many stories about the history of
Florida Wave on the RAMD but this is the TRUE STORY..
The Wave was a name change from the Florida Vanguards.
In 1933 a corps was formed in Miami named the
Greater Miami Boys Drum and Bugle Corps. It was
Sponsored by Miami and at one time had over 200
members. The corps adopted a nick name of the Vanguards (with a S)
in 1957. Yes, this is before SCV. The Miami Vanguards continued until 1973 and due to financial problems, they broke up. In 1976, an alumni
since 1958, Lee Shields, reorganized the corps and was director until 1979. Assisting was other alum Jo Wessman and Gary Pflug, etc.
Subsequently, in 1981 the corps changed their name to the FL Wave. There has
been many great people with the corps.
Bill Hayes - Director of Blessed Sac in the 50's when they were winning
Dick Filkins - Archer Epler and 1999 Hall of Fame inductee
Jeff Bridges - New director, 1999 of Crossmen
Larry Shane - Brass Staff of Blue Knights
Gino Cipriano - joined the FL Vanguards 79 at the age of 14
- Blue Devils brass 9 years/now Cadets
John Campese - Future Corps/Magic percussion head/now Crusaders
Steve Rodinaro - Director 1981 to ?
The list goes on.....It was a great corps and I will always miss it.
