CORPS Photos
The corps’ colors were royal blue, yellow, and gold.
Awards included several individual championships, as well as the New Hampshire State D.A.V. Championship. They also participated at the 1964 New York World‘s Fair and the Kennedy Inaugural Parade in 1961.
The Graniteers sponsored two contests annually, a standstill in March and the New Hampshire Drum Field Contest in August.
They were an active, competitive junior corps through the 1968 season. A high number of age-outs required them to go inactive in 1969. They reorganized in the fall of '69 as an all-age or "senior" corps, and they performed as a parade corps in 1970. In the summer of 1971, they competed again, in the Yankee Circuit, which allowed junior and senior corps to compete with each other. They disbanded for good the following winter, in early 1972.
