Andyroo Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Now that the Diplomates are firmly established as a respected alumni corps, wouldn't it be interesting for them to sponsor a mid-winter indoor alumni show as a part of the Carnaval de Quebec - the Quebec Winter Carnival - held each year in mid-February. I remember that a number of years ago the junior corps with which I was associated performed at the hockey arena as a part of an indoor extravaganza, and conversations with other drum corps people have indicated that quite a number of corps - both juniors and seniors - appeared there over the years. Just a thought.... Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought.... Andy Hello Andy. I remember. It was at the end of the sixties and beginning of the seventies. Les Diplomates played at this show many times and a great number of corps were invited too. I have participated in the organization of those events. Many people on that forum surely have souvenirs of a trip to Quebec City. How about telling us your story. André DeBlois Les Diplomates 61-73 Les Diplomates Alumni 2005-............ P.S. We might organize a show in the next years. 4 feet of snow in Quebec City yesterday and winds of 90 mph . Will somebody come to the Quebec Winter Carnival this year ?

québécois Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hello, 4 feet of snow, it would have been marvelous. Are you dreaming of that kind of white Christmas ? But it was really 2 feet. You know, we work with the metric system here. We have to convert it in inches and feet. André DeBlois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
