CORPS Photos

The Belvederes was a junior marching and maneuvering corps founded by Richard T. Lord about 1966 in Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania. During the 1960s and 1970s, the corps marched in the Pennsylvania area, and took part in such national competitions as the American International Open and the U.S. Open. Billy Hightower was a brass instructor for the Belvederes.

In 1973 and 1974, the Belvederes were crowned the Eastern States Junior Drum & Bugle Corps Circuit Champions.

The corps merged with the Highlanders of Hazelton, Pennsylvania, to form the Black Diamond Regiment in about May, 1977.
