At our 2010 annual  banquet the Greater New Orleans Drum Corps Association inducted three members into it's Hall of Fame. The recipients of this great honor were:

Malcolm Bolden

Malcolm Bolden started his drum corps career in the VFW New Orleans Cadets in 1949 or 1950 as a snare drummer and stayed there until 1952 when he went in the armed services.  He also met his wife in the Cadets, as she was in the color guard.  He was not in the drum corps again until his daughter joined the Bleu Raeders in 1974 where he was active in the Booster Club, finding many unique ways of raising money to keep the Raeders on the “Drum Corps Trail.”  This included taking money out of his own pocket when needed.  He did what it takes to keep the corps rolling.
