Notice that it says Blessed Sacrament "Cadets"

According to corps historian Al Cohen, "The name Golden Knights was given by Ray Cubello (nicknamed 'cueball'), who was in the color guard and was also a jazz drummer at East Side High School in Newark, NJ.  Although his corps nickname has lasted forever, he never won a National Championship with the corps, as he left not too long after giving us the name."
