CORPS Photos

The Criterions, born in 1960, was a senior marching and maneuvering corps based in Newburgh, New York. Formed by a merger of the Colonial Cavaliers and the Newburgh Ambassadors, the Criterions were sponsored by the Newburgh John Kenney VFW Post 973 and the Kingston American Legion Post 150.

The corps’ colors were red, black, and blue

Awards included the 1955-60 American Legion State Championships, and the 1961 American Legion Interstate Circuit Championships.

The Criterions disbanded in 1985 when membership split over whether the corps should concentrate on marching and maneuvering or parades.
