We had some great times with them during our RCA years. Good bunch both on and off the field.

Just got back into town from visiting grandbabies. Great surprise in the mailbox. Tomorrow will be a revisit to the 1975 RCA championships. Thanks again Steve

Thanks Steve Will let you know when it arrives. John

Many thanks Steve John Scott 423 Elbow Lake Rd Sudbury, Ont Canada, P3E 4N1 Sometimes I think those were the best of days

After all these years a tape has surfaced. Is there anyway I could get a copy of either the whole show or especially the Sudbury Imperial Knights? Also if sent to "Preserve Our Corps Memories" he may be able to restore and preserve the "only known copy" of that championship.

After all these years have past, I received a DVD of the Imperial Knights shows, originally done on 1" vedio, from 1972 and 1973. They were recorded at Guelph Royalaries RCA contests. Not the best of quality but many a memory

It would have to have been after 1975 if true...

Thanks..let us hope other have followed your lead

For all of us who have fond memories of our days in drum corps, we can help keep our history alive and/or at least written down by adding as much information as you can to http://drumcorpswiki.com Find your corps and type away.....If you don't do it no-one else will

Ted was the music arranger for Canada's Marching Ambassadors as well as a member of the CJA. KEY, Edward Lewis - August 5, 1939 -- October 7, 2010 After a long and hard fought battle with cancer, Ted Key passed away peacefully with his loving wife Jean, of 36 years, at his side. Ted leaves behind his sons Teddy and Andrew (Katlyn) and his two adored grandsons, Ryan and Jordan. Ted was predeceased by his mother Daisy Key (Loveridge) and his father Edward Key. Aside from his devotion to his family, Ted had 3 other passions. He loved music. He had a long and successful career as a music teacher with the TDSB at Parkway Vocational School, Brockton High School and Danforth Technical School. He was an excellent teacher who used enthusiasm and humour to bring out the best in his students. For many years, Ted was a member of the Canadian Judges Association which adjudicated marching bands in Canada and the United States. Ted was also the Musical Director for the DCAT chorus which put on many successful performances in the GTA. Ted was a proud member of Remembrance Masonic Lodge and the Scottish Rite. Finally, Ted loved his cottage at Dickey Lake. It was his refuge and his castle. He loved to put on lavish dinner parties for his friends and neighbours. He could tell a good joke. Ted was a Director and President of Shawano Ratepayers for many years. His family would like to thank the medical staff at Sunnybrook Hospital for their care and compassion during this difficult time. He was a terrific husband, a great Dad and an indulgent grandfather. He will be sorely missed. He also enjoyed a post contest party

Sorry to hear about Ted Key, for sure the '67 Ambassadors and how about the Imperial Knights 1974 and if found 1975

A big thanks to The Diceman ....1973 RCA championship soon?
