1956 Dream
https://bsgoldenknights.org/wp-content/upload/1956/0a78a0c0.jpg"...one of the most enjoyable wins of 1956..." was the Dream. Shown here in one of the two concert formation from the '56 show, the corps had just completed its five-day bus trip from the AL Nationals in Los Angeles and had not practiced since the win 8 days earlier. According to Jerry Dalton, "We were aware that the other corps knew we had not practiced, but we took it as a challenge to prove why were National Champs."
