Organized in 1994, the Hawthorne Caballeros Alumni Drum & Bugle Corps is now in its 17th season. Representing American Legion Post 199 of Hawthorne, New Jersey, the Alumni Corps celebrates an earlier era and the proud tradition of one of the all-time great senior corps, the world-famous Hawthorne Caballeros. The Alumni Corps is staffed by many of those who "were there" when those sixteen American Legion National Championships and the nine DCA World Championships were won.
