DCP NewsFeed Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 The loud cheering and shouts of support for Preston Scout House Band by Canada Day 150 parade spectators were more than a match for a torrential downpour of heavy rain and fierce head winds that swept down the main street as the Band reached the halfway point of the big parade on July 1.

They did the March of the Toys as part of their show, if I remember correctly. I was with Les Diplomates then. Salut, Bob p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the Bridge in '72 & '73. Getting back to Preston Scout House, they were filled with GE in the late '50s and early '60s, such as the "cranking up" of the tin soldiers in the March of the soldiers. Other Canadian corps with great GE (gimmicks for some people), were the Jolly Jesters and of course yours truly corps, Les Diplomates, with carousels and rotating blocks and triangles. I loved the Sunrisers, particularly for their mostly classical music repertoire, but I do remember hearing a great version of Sing Sing Sing in the alley behind Carnegie Hall in '65 - I am pretty sure that that was Sun.
