"In 1963 the Corps swept across the East Coast, posting win upon win after carrying out what had become a July Fourth tradition by putting on a hot and winning performance in Union City. B.S, never looked back, winning 21 straight contests. Included in this streak was the Legion title won for the sixth time, and the first World Open, where "Miss World Open", wearing a gold gown, presented the Corps with a trophy for 'every caption'."   - from Tim O'Brien's A (not so brief) HISTORY OF THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS
