CORPS Photos
The corps’ colors were red and white.
Awards included the Class C Circuit and Festival Championship in 1961, and DCI Division A-60 Championship in 1985 and '86. The corps held an annual contest the third Sunday of May every year. The corps' highest rankings may have been a tenth-place finish in the 1972 CYO Nationals and a fourth-place finish in the 1973 VFW Championships.
The Sancians continued to complete until at least 1987.
