The
prolific FLEETWOOD label was based near Boston, first in Lynn,
then in Revere. they were active from the 50s (doing mostly
marching bands), up until the early 70s. Not to be confused with
the NY label of the same name, which was active in the same time
period. Some have speculated that the NY based Fleetwood was a
branch of the Boston headquarters, but this has not yet been
settled.
Correction from John Grady:
Back in the late 50s and through the 60s, I had a lot of Fleetwood Records. You mentioned that they recorded mainly marching bands. That is incorrect.
What they recorded was drum and bugle corps, which, though there are superficial similarities between them and marching bands, are actually quite different from bands. Drum and bugle corps had (and still have) as instruments only various types/sizes of percussion instruments/drums and bugles in various sizes/ranges (e.g., soprano, baritone, contrabass, french horn bugle, mellophone, etc.). The sound drum corps produce is one of powerful percussion and brass. And precision in both music and in marching and manuevering (visual show) is emphasized.
In the 1970s, the drum corps style began to have a more significant influence on marching bands, with the result that, today, many bands imitate the more precise and powerful drum corps style.
