I remember LaSalle and have a recording of this show on LP. Fine corps, but the audio on this is so poor you should not have posted it at all. Try again and boost the audio. If you can't, you may as well delete the post.
Do yiu remember the ROSS ROYAL CADETS DRUM AND BUGLE CORP from Lincoln park michigan I was a majorret back in the late 1960s and 1970's. Can't seem to find us . We competed alot Blackhawks and Cavaliers Is 2 corps I tember competeting against
Such a fabulous Canadian organization. I remember my Father putting on records of them from 70-73, he and myself had such a great appreciation for this group. Rene Rockburne( not sure of spelling but I marched with his son!) writing such fabulous percussion for the era, only really matched by Vern at Optimist's in Canada. Thanks for such a comprehensive video @Johnsidney
I am watching this clip again, today is July 16th 2022. I was member of the Floyd Bennett golden eagles in 1960 and 1961 played snare drum, then I joined the Long Island Sunrisers after I turn 21, in 1964 through 1968. I played symbols because I had a hand and right arm injury in 1962 when I was in the golden eagles, and I had to stop playing and I quit the core until I joined the sunrise where I played cymbals, still wanted to be part of the Drumline. In volume two of the Drum Corps history books, in the sunrise section as a photograph of myself and the other symbol player is first name was Bill, MO Knox the drum called World photographer, refer to us as the dynamic duo, imitated but never duplicated. Also along with John Dowling, may he rest in peace, he's the person that developed backsticking and used it while he was instructor of the Air Force drum and bugle Corps back I think in 1960, that drum quartet took first place and that was the first time, people experience witnessing what backsticking was. We started American Spirit, senior alumni drama vehicle Corps in the Tampa Bay Florida area. Send out letters to many drum and bugle Corps, throughout the United States and Canada. We received a total of 70 bugles, they were in various condition, including two contribased bugles, one soprano bugle in particular, that I remember, was from the Casper Troopers, drum and bugle c o r p s.. I remember because they included the case, and on the box it said Troopers. We started the American Spirit, in 1992, after a long recovery from a major spine surgery 18 and a half hours, then an additional 5 1/2 hours, for a deep breeding procedure in my spine. Staph infection. It nearly killed me I had my last rites, for the second time. First time was in 1966, after leaving evening with the corpse, in New Jersey I would drum instructor and myself would driving over the Pulaski Skyway in New Jersey, and were involved in a head-on collision 110 miles an hour, two people were killed in the car that hit us, that was the first time I received my last rights. Fortunate to still be on this side of the lawn, today July 16th 2022, will be 79 years old this September. God bless all former members, of drum and bugle c o r p s, that are no longer with us, and God bless all of us that are fortunate to still walk the face of the Earth.
Interesting account. I started in our home town drum corps where we made lifelong friendships. Unfortunately at the time we didn't realize how the activity would shape our lives. We were just young. In later years as we reflect back boy were we lucky. Our original corps director who passed away a few years ago, wrote out the history of how the corps started. I sent it to many former members but one replied that was sort of touching, she said "I never thanked anybody for what they did", we just left. Being a small town corps we, were basically the same people for years, but as people moved on for schooling and work the town wasn't capable of replacing the people that left. Also at that time there was no music programs in the schools and everyone learned in the drum corps. The corps disbanded at the end of the 69 season. Five of us joined the "Cadets Lasalle" for the 1970 season. There is an animation on line of our corps "The HiRisers Tribute", made by a ex corps member as video's in the day were 8mm and usually no sound. A few of us continued and played with Rochester's Empire Statesmen in the 80's. But alas age does become a factor, but the memories last forever.
First time that I swore Canadian drum and bugle Corps, was Scout house in exhibition at several New Jersey competitions, eyewitness them form at least four times and I thought they were upstanding very different very entertaining. As I remember they would drawer many people ahead thousands of fans in the United States including myself. That was back in the late 50s early 60s. The only senior Corps I remember saying was the Jolly Jesters when they were wearing clown costumes, and on the starting line, they release balloons in the air. The drum major was dressed like Emmett Kelly, I don't recall the year but I think it was late 50s 58 maybe 59? Great memories for sure never forget seeing them both. It is now December 2021. I am a former member of the olph ridgemen, Floyd Bennett golden eagles Brooklyn New York, and the Long Island Sunrisers drum and bugle Corps.
The video is superb, showing some of the practices in parking lots and practicing tonguing with the bugles, while marching. Shows many close-ups of individuals during practice which is extremely interesting reminds me probably of every competing drum and bugle Corps in the country. Former members of any drum corpse can relate. This is a super-host really appreciate your doing it and I hope many many people watch it and see what real drum and bugle Corps were all about.
Back when Real Drum and bugle Corps still existed, Canadian drum Corpse were always packed with GE General effect, more so than most American corpse at that time. This clip, covers the Drumline, much more than most clips. They had an outstanding hornline, and a well-executed drumline. It's too bad DC I feel this activity for the most part turning it into a marching band, activity today. Former member of the Long Island sunrises
Nice and Creative Videos， This is really my favorite channle.:). I really glad to see your post and your world was so brilliant.I decided to share them with my friends. Hope to bring happiness and healing to those who are stuck at home 🌴🌴🌴 excellent and Much appreciated!!🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 from: Arnprior Renfrew
jean leblanc was one of the greatest squeelers on soprano with a valve rotor in the history of drum corps !! john won so many individual solo soprano medals that they covered the front of his tunic or blouse !!
Fantastic show I used to love to watch them, one of the all-time great Canadian drum and bugle Corp. Another Real Drum corpse that hit the dust do to DCI. They definitely knew how to get the crowd on their feet, the crowd will go wild, very exciting.
The music dubbed into this the Regimental Bugle Band of the ROYAL HAMILTON LIGHT INFANTRY. The first few marches were played on the Memorial Silver Bugles of the Regiment Bb with F crooks. The rest on G-F horns.
When we had to find a liter bottle of soda to use as a holder for the mutes in the sop line...that was the first time I'd ever SEEN a single liter bottle!
I was looking for my Aunt Marg and Uncle Nin but I guess they may not have been there yet. Brought a tear to my eye anyway, Arnprior looked so pretty and the way I like to remember it.
I just listened to this clip, on May 1st 2022. I could hear the audio oh, it was very low, but I was able to listen to the music I can hear the execution on the snare drums they played quite well. The overall performance was outstanding. Thank you for this post brings back great memories, one we had Real Drum and bugle Corps.. former member of the Long Island Sunrisers 1964 to 1968.
Terry... I stayed at a B&B in Stratford UK back in 82...I curled up in bed with a Kenwood blanket!!... BEST sleep on that trip! :-) I asked where they got them and they told me they were sent over during the war!... it was like getting tucked in by mom!
Bob was a very.very dear friend of mine. I helped him with his HMCS ONTARIO Band numerous times. He gave me music I gave him music wrote music for him and he was.instrumental in me getting involved with the Cadet Music Program for a while. I was very shocked to hear he had passed away when he did. Ive lost contact with his family. I think his wife went back to the US. Not sure where his daughter Christine or son Robby are. Think he lived at 53 Morenz Cres if I recall.
I have the video of this taken off of 8mm tape. The HMCS CARLETON Band, NIAGARA MILITAIRES a couple of girls Corps as well if I recall.Plus what you see here. I ALWAYS get a laugh when I see the POWR cymbal player!
Bob Peters from Kingston I believe put a tape to-gether for Kinston and this was on the beginning of the tape. Not sure what's true and not so true. But someone told me there was a real issue as to what the cymbal player did and who was running the band at the time. "Not in my band". Not sure of the timeline but I believe Kingston Grenadiers were a split from the militia band as I think a lot a corps of the day were.
I think SPIRO SAKKELL was the Sgt i/c of the Band at the time. Yes the Militia Bands did break off from Army and formed Sr. Drum Corps. If you have the first volume of DCW History of Drum Corps I wrote the chapter on CANADIAN MILITARY CORPS. Having been in one myself and a historian on military bands so to speak. List of Bands/Corps TB Trumpet Band BB Bugle Band RCASC TB Jolly Jesters later Jesters later merged swith Hamilton Viscounts forming Canadian later Burlington Commanders Royal Hamilton Light Infantry BB Hamilton Viscounts 48th RC Engineer TB Kitchener Flying Dutchmen 11th RC Artillery TB Guelph Royalaires 30th RC Artillery TB Bytown Gunners Ottawa 44th RC Artillery TB Merritton Grenadiers 45th RC Artillery TB Limestone City Grenadiers later Kingston Grenadiers 2nd Divisional Royal Canadian Corps of Signals TB Canadas Marching Ambassadors There were bands that DID NOT go the Drum Corps route such as. Queens Own Rifles Toronto Governor Generals Horse Guards Toronto HMCS YORK Toronto HMCS Carleton Ottawa HMCS Cataraqui Kingston 8th Royal Canadian Corps of Signals Toronto 8th RC Artillery Hamilton As well there were other bands at the various Army Trade Schools and Apprentice Programs Camp Borden RCASC School Trumpet Band Kingston had the RCEME Trumpet Band and the RCCS School Trumpet Band Regular Force Regiments also had Trumpet or Bugle Bands 1st Bn. Queens Own Rifles 1 2 3 Bn PPCLI 1st Bn Royal 22nd Regiment the Van Doos Hope this helps I have an extensive collection of photos of bugle trumpet bands
Yes I've heard Spiro Sakkell's name from a few of the older members. I play in 76 with them and then a few years as a parade corps. Bob was in the process of creating a portable drum corps museum of sorts at one time. I believe after he passed away Doug Orser got the stuff (he has since passed away), I've no idea where it all went. Lost history I suppose at this point. I often think the ideas of these corps in the beginning must have seamed quite radical at the time as we may thing to what is happening today. All good the young people seem to be buying into the idea and they are getting crowds. I do miss the old days though.
Not sure of the first or fourth but thensecond one in the red military uniforms is the PRINCESS OF WALES OWN REGIMENT Trumpet Bandan Army Reserve unit from Kingston. They later became the LIMESTONE CITY GRENADIERS. later KINGSTON GRENADIERSThe Corps in black/gold is the KAWARTHA KAVALIERS from Lindsay Ontario.Background music dubbed in is the ROYAL HAMILTON LIGHT INFANTRY Bugle Band from 1983.
Rick the very last corps (t shirts) would be Arnprior Lions. This was my first show. Just before that as Kingston is marching off to the right you will see a few guys in black uniforms and I believe that would be 30th field Regiment from Ottawa. This part of the tape was from a show in Smiths Falls. I don't have the original there may have been more on it.
First corps is Jesters. 4th one, in blue, I think is St. Mary's; the only photos i've seen of St, Marys is similar colour blue, but with blue pants as well.
Thank-you so much for this amazing video; I truly enjoyed viewing this, I look forward to sharing it with family. I'm a former resident of the town...Arnprior Proud! 👍 😊
J'ai fait aussi parti du groupe jusqu'à 1969 officiellement (!). Des souvenirs inoubliables, et des amitiés durables. Mike Graham et moi, nous nous voyons assez souvent depuis les années à l'Académie de la Sallle. On a connu les années de Maurice Legault et André Campeau à direction musicale. Salutations à tous les anciens copains. Pierre Trottier

Thanks for sharing this John. My cousin Alan Clouthier pointed out my grandfather Murray Quattrocchi Sr. working the wool scouring machine. It was wonderful for me to see him looking so young and full of life.
Alan you may be correct on the date, I can remember people quitting school to go and work there, it was the place to go to at one time. My sister reminded me that my mother and her worked there. Diane worked there when it was call Weavex at the end
Wonderful old film of a by-gone time. As far as the date of the film I put it at around 1946-7. The Stewartville Dam wasn't completed and it became operational Oct 28, 1948. Thanks John for the posting. Enjoyed it.
Thank you John Sidney! This is amazing! Only wish I knew who everyone was! I did pick out a few relatives, especially my Uncle Legouri at 15:23 smoking a cigarette!!!
Slow it down to the real speed
Now it's just a big neighbourhood of Ottawa...
As a member of the LaSalle cadets from 63 to 68, I've missed the drum corp life ever since.
Great to see razor sharp turns.
Anyone have the snare parts for the drum solo that was shown?
Thanks for this. Fantastic.
I remember LaSalle and have a recording of this show on LP. Fine corps, but the audio on this is so poor you should not have posted it at all. Try again and boost the audio. If you can't, you may as well delete the post.
Does anyone remember the Ross Royal Cadets. From Lincoln Park Michigan latr 1960s and 1970's ?? I was a majorette but can't find anything on us.
Impressive!
really enjoyed this video John, had never seen it before.
Great memories of a terrific show!
DCI should definitely require its judges to wear those sporty caps next year. ( at 1:21)
What a great corps! Loved competing against them for many years.

Hi Rick thanks for the background Bob Peters (Kingston) had a tape with all kinds of stuff on, mostly Kingston I only copied snippets at the time.
Canadian Cool Corps
Best thing that happened to the 'prior...was me!! 1962!
KIDS Got to hate that song after about a 1000 times. Very clean sound with a superior drum line. ha
GEE THE JOLLY JESTERS IN THE BLUE SHIRTS I WAS THERE ED LAW
When we had to find a liter bottle of soda to use as a holder for the mutes in the sop line...that was the first time I'd ever SEEN a single liter bottle!
I see me at 1:05! Back when I was skinny and had hair! Now if only someone had the 87 Prelims vid...
I was looking for my Aunt Marg and Uncle Nin but I guess they may not have been there yet. Brought a tear to my eye anyway, Arnprior looked so pretty and the way I like to remember it.
Dude with cymbals has all the moves .
Dear John Sidney, is there no audio with this posting? I can't hear any. If there is audio, can you boost it, please??
Unfortunately no these were not from the original however if any show up I will certainly post.

Dear John Sidney, is there a way you can boost the volume on these LaSalle Cadet postings? They're almost inaudible.
I imagine there are still kenwood blankets in use around the country.
Yes we still have one of the old army type with the black strip, at the foot of the bed for those extra cold nights :)
Terry... I stayed at a B&B in Stratford UK back in 82...I curled up in bed with a Kenwood blanket!!... BEST sleep on that trip! :-) I asked where they got them and they told me they were sent over during the war!... it was like getting tucked in by mom!
I thought that music sounded familiar.
Bob was a very.very dear friend of mine. I helped him with his HMCS ONTARIO Band numerous times.

Brian this was in Medina NY and I believe it was the ICA Championship
I was wondering where this was. I am guessing it might have been in Rochester, NY and I may be in this video.
Merci beaucoup.
Merci beaucoup to you too
