How did we get the name “Crimson Kings?”

Many of us have wondered, "Why are we the Crimson Kings?" After a few theories, we decided to ask Lily Din Woo '59-'83 - former member and director of the Corps. Here's the real story as told by Lily! "We actually renamed the corps in 1970, when we decided to enter standstill competition in the Nassau Suffolk circuit. Our original name was the "New York Chinese Public School Drum Corps". We were in the process of converting from a fife, drum and bugle corps to a drum and bugle corps and were designing and ordering a new uniform. We wanted to create a new name and logo on the uniform.

Crimson Kings 1992 M&M Season

A blast form the past. Here's footage of the 1992 field performance. This was the last year in which the Crimson Kings competed in a field competition. We are currently in the process of establishing a program that will enable us to put a Corps back on the field. As of 2010, we began incorporating drills into our parade routine by revising the format for the street!

Chinese New Year 2012

The Year 2012 is the 4709th Chinese or Lunar year. And a parade is a great way to celebrate the year of the dragon--the water dragon to be specific. We marched around the community through lions and dragons, but it was no match for our drums beating while our horns and fifes sang through the streets.
