Phantom Legion was thier last name and they last competed 1999

Correct. The corps went inactive after 96, even though the bingo kept going. They tried 1 more go at it and it lasted one year. The bingo lousy their license in 04...probably will never see another corps come from CR.
Stinks...we had something going...the momentum was there...the BoD leadership was not. In 96 we were huge and ready to get better in 97...oh what could have been.
Loved nite express all that music from first knight in 96 was very good.
There was also Emerald Knights from Mississauga, Ontario who formed as Emerald cCadets in 1981 and renamed Knights in 86, was sister corps with cedar rapids for a while well old yearbooks say so. The ontario corps was around 1981 to 2001 when they went on to become a performing arts youth group called Emerald Star.

A recent show in Sherbrooke, Quebec had these QUE corps on the field:
Stentors
Eclairs
Titans
Les Ambassadeurs de la Monteregie
Thats fantastic i had completly thought F.A.M.Q. had dispanded.
One of my favourite memories of marching corps in Canada was the quebec tour so many tiny amazig corps that just couldnt afford to do anything but local... it used to be such a power house circuit but the corps were very poor. But that didnt seem to matter cause they were all pretty good and could have given msny finalist contenders a run for thier money.

Man, I marched with 5 of these corps...sad.
You forgot Contemporary Youth Ensemble from Ottawa.
C.Y.E. was amazing i was pretty upset when they missed finals in 96 by .05 but when your canadian ya gotta be better then 6th to make 7th lol j/k

Maybe because im third generation in drum corps,i' ve learned you have to respect and pay homage to your past, for if it wasnt for the blessed scrament golden knights, blue rock etc. The activity would not have evolved to what it is today. The sport is always evolving the part we who are currently involved in the sport have to play is to not flame our elder corpsmen as it is a disrespect to the same activity you love, but let us tryvto explain to them where the activity has gone and whats relevent now, i appreciate what was winning in 72 as much as i do 2011, but i appreciate the old for what it brought to the new. Its all connected folks so flaming an old guy forvhis opinion instead of treating him with respect as a fellow corpsman is really just disrespectful to him, yourself and the activity. Take the time to explain whats happening now, they still may not love it, but they can understand what its trying to do.
And for yhe person who said its not thier activity anymore? How epuld u feel if someone told u that when u go to a show in some twenty years? Grow up and act your age.

All since 1994. Now we only have blue saints and les stentor.
-
Indeed. They were last on the field in I believe 2005?
They had a partner ship with tampa bay thunder moved thier home base to florida and then ultimately folded.... and 2005 was thief last year it was a beatles program recalling a show the xorps did in 91.

What we are seeing is the beginning of the dismal tide of financial failure... DCI really does nothing to protect these smaller corps in world and open and its going to bite the whole activity in the ###, but from how i see dci acting they arent really sad snout this in the least. When i marched div III in the late 90's they didnt care about us eithier..
In fact when corps folded in the north and tried to come back to have dci sanction them they wouldnt return calls or emails snd corps couldnt compete. It is not dcis priority and its actions speak that loudly. Smaller corps should compete in dca.. it seems poised to bring back the local circuits given the membership of more corps in the south and west... plus dca encourages a more entaertaining product and really is more positive then the dci experience onecwould get itvopen class with certain competitive levels. Just a thought...

I agree the ending is reminiscent of cadets 88 from the fanfare to the push to the end only purely because of the source material . But it has to many crown isms if you will... the opening is pure crown it is a well oiled machine that has been years in the making... if they clean this beast they completely deserve to win.

is it me or is there front end pretty weak? Or those parts at least ? Maybe its all thats needed with the brass over top ... guess we'll have to see

Gotta love Paul McGarr. They really need to train more new judges in DCI and get rid of these old hacks who tank corps that they don't like. Torchia, Czapinski, McGarr, Hinman, Carlson...the whole lot.
Sorry cant let this happen.... Paul McGarr is an amazing educator. Not close to an old hack thank you very much.

-

Troop..
To little too late?

Well, tonight is the first big show (minus Pioneer for some reason) and I beliieve it is time for "the fall". By this I mean, someone, is going to place lower than most of us expected based on their performances thus far this season. Now, the real question is, who? Who is going to take the fall? Tell us who and why?

Jersey Surf is also not there.

Sorry i meant the late 90s early thousands division II, with the help of ecj. Spartans. And patriots.
-
Well, I taught a corps in that class in 2009, and I've seen Open Class championships every year for the last seven or so. Not counting being a fan of Class A/A-60/Division II/III and occasionally teaching in those classes.
Ah cool i get ya.... i loved some div two shows from opd ecj and spartans even les etoiles and dimension rive sud.
-
Whens the last time you saw open class? Kinda wierd how your so excited that they are entertaining.. good things are always happening in this division....
After all its the division of the future.
Whn's the last time you were entertained this much by two Open Class corps in a row? I mean *entertained* and *engaded* and not just appreciative. And I'm not discounting Blue Saints and Colt Cadets, just making an observation. Usually Open Class is reserved for esoteric concepts with music you couldn't care less about. Usually.

Isn't anything north of Toronto "isolated"? :)
Haha the gta geeater toronto area is home to 8 million people the biggest xommintieis north of it are vaughan 240000 Barrie 195000 and sudbury 160000.... canada is very packed close to the border... but sudbury is very far from the border and in the nickle belt.
Glad to see this corps still around. Ontario is having success in its winterguard and marching percussion activities. Hopefully these trends will see corps to the field soon.
-
fingers crossed for Blue Saints
So sad that thier the only corps left in Ontario, pretty sad considering Toronto was the only city in North America to ever have two finalist corps in the same year..... oh how the times have changed
