Favorite Ontario Corps

[KeithHall]

I was thinking MOSTLY of the 1970's and I didn't look at any lists for assistance. I realized that I missed a "few" corps and I am sorry.

The best drumline to not make finals...1977

[Geneva]

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

Thanks, Linda. Great stuff. We often invited Lasalle to our show in Geneva and they were alway great crowd pleasers.

Great pick Linda...what year was that?? Their last year?

There were sure a lot of good corps in Ontario waaaay BITD. St. John's Girls were perennial all-girl champs prior to the rise of Chatelaines...Etobicoke Crusaders were always entertaining. What about North Star?? They had a couple great years too. How about Ventures? If you go back farther, try and find a recording of the original Conqueror, York Lions, Midtowners or Leaside Lion Jungle Kings! So much talent and it's all gone now....Toronto should be able to field a fabulous alumni corps.

I forgot Les Compagnon who I always liked in the early 1970's.

As well I did the same....incredible work ethic, a pain in St Joes butt for the last few years of both corps.

Cadets LaSalle!

I voted other...for the BANDETTES - not a great drum corps, but Mary always had hard working ladies in the ranks!

Hono(u)rable mentions: Oakland Crusaders and Seneca..
