ajlisko Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Well ... there goes all the drama of clues ... actually, one of my fav unis growing up ... one of Canada's finest ... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish66 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 It was a pretty good run, especially lately. Plus the Roy Perez videos find turned out to be special. I'd have given more clues, but the Norwood Park corps thing kind of took over. We should try to keep this active the best we can. So much history has gone through here, it would be a shame to have it fade away. I hope Nanci is doing OK and can return when she finds the right time to do so. As for the rest of the usual suspects, I'm wondering where Ray Fallon, Fish, Ray Priester,Tony White and a few others have been. Hope we haven't lost these special Whoers. :) I'll try my best to post another feature. I'm still here daily. Although I knew the Shoreliners, the clues kept taking us to the left coast?????If anyone knows how to post a picture I can provide a few for the Who"ers..................I miss Fallon!

ironlips Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 OK, so it's Guelph? What do we know about them? Where was the photo taken? Who were they? Canada had so many great corps, and today has a very active color guard activity, in addition to the still on scene Les Diplomates, Scout House and a few more. Andy, when did you see the Royalaires? Do you remember the Canadian Commanders? I recall competing against them in Toronto around 1964 or so. They were massive, by the standards of the day. I thought they had about a million horns.

I thought they had about a million horns. 1963 in Milford CT ... then at several DCA prelims in the early 70's ... their unis were just so crisp and clean ... I remember the Commanders also ... orange sash if I'm not mistaken ... we (Sky) saw them regularly at the Upstate NY shows ... :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Priester Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Well ... there goes all the drama of clues ... actually, one of my fav unis growing up ... one of Canada's finest ... :-) And if our Queen was around, I'm certain she would schedule Mr. Peashey for a public flogging for "premature evaluation"!

TomPeashey Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 lol she can flog away... didn't realize we were back to the old rules and only stop in every few days... sorry... Guelph has a heck of a history and was even important in the early days of DCA Commanders Andy? Orange sash? Ya think??? ORANGE satin blouses that couldn't be missed anywhere... they were an early merger corps that worked for a couple of years and they consequently had one of the largest horn lines of the time... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
