Sorry if I missed any as I went off the top of my head. I only go back to 1971 so please forgive me if I forgot any other corps.

Good, worthy poll...

But it's Dutch Boy, not Dutchboy.

And how about Kiwanis Kavaliers? Didn't they almost make finals in the 90s?

I voted other. I had the fortunate experience of attending brilliant live performances held on stage, floor and field by LaSalle Cadets/Cadets LaSalle.

Yes, Jean LeBlanc as a commanding soloist. Some of my best drum corps memories!

No Oshawa Rebels?

We did make finals twice in A-60...

Why not a mention of Scout House here?

Great thread. Opti was always one of my favorites and would be my number one...until we hit the mid-70s. I'm glad that others remembered LaSalle Cadets who, despite their distinct francophone flavor, were based out of Ottawa (and sometimes, Toronto). I strongly recommend clicking the lindap's posted link and listen to one of the most exciting shows of 1969...north or south of the border.

But, I had to vote for DEL. A powerhouse in the mid-70s and the best performing Canadian corps ever. The sunburst and then the company front in ONTARIO. They were great! The only one of the Big Three Canadian corps of the 60s and 70s I never beat on the field.

Yes, add Preston Scout House to the list...just fdor their innovation.

And Geoff, Go Leaf Go!
