CORPS Photos

The Appleknockers, formed in about 1962, was a junior marching and maneuvering corps based in Geneva, New York. They arose after the demise of the senior drum corps by the same name, and were sponsored by the Geneva Winnek American Legion Post 396.

The corps’ unusual name is said to have derived about 1954 from the fact they hailed from apple-picking country in New York, and that they “knocked” around the country to different events. Appleknockers soloist Frankie Farr is the man Appleknocker historians credit with having played the first field solo in drum corps history.
