Where's LaSalle Cadets from Ottawa?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Like I said... the list was from 78... I don't think LaSalle Cadets were a functioning ODCA corps at that time.

LaSalle Cadets folded after the 1973 season after they tied with the De La Salle

Oaklands for the Canadian Title!!!

However, their soloist, Jean Leblanc, is reportedly playing with the Syracuse Grenediers of DCA!!!

This was a high point in Ontario drum corps. I started marching in an Ontario corps in 79 but I don't think the decline starting that year was really my fault.  :P

Including the alumni corps we have left today:

Bandettes, Sault Ste. Marie Ont

Blue Saints, Sudbury Ont

Kiwanis Kavaliers, KW, Ont

Scout House,Cambridge, Ont

Seneca Optimists, Toronto, Ont (i.e. Optimist Alumni)

D'oh!

That's good! That's a 20% increase in the number of corps in Ontario.

Wait, there's a Syracuse Grenadiers? I know of the Syracuse Brigadiers and the Kingston Grenadiers (Kingston, Ontario . . . getting back to the Canadian content of this thread), and Kingston is only a few hours' drive away from Syracuse. But I don't think that qualifies as a merger! :P

I think General Putnam's Men and the Bandettes were in the same shows about 85% of the time.

The directors, staff, and members of the two corps were good friends.
