Commander71 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) ...from 1965 Toronto Shriner's International program Funny, this photo was taken at Hamilton Ontario Civic Stadium...I thought I had been to all the shows there since my first in 1959 but I don't recall seeing Sun ever in Hamilton...Lots of great shows there brought to us by Hamilton Viscounts and Canadian Commanders...

Commander71 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Les Diplomates of Quebec City...from the 1965 Shriner's Program. I think 1965 was the last year that this was a senior show and starting in 1966 it became a junior show with, usually, a senior corps in exhibition. I was able to participate with the Burlington Commanders in exhibition in 1971. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander71 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Kitchener ON Flying Dutchmen...from 1963 Canadian Nats. program... This corps got their start as an Canadian Army Reserve Engineer Squadron trumpet band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander71 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 The Vics from Montreal...I never got to see them but I am told that they too sprang from an Army Reserve infantry outfit, the Queen Victoria Rifles. They look pretty big for the early 60's....uniforms are reminiscent of Lt. Norman Prince "Princemen". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander71 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 "The Corps With A Heart"...the Guelph Royalaires...I used to kid ex-members by saying "I know! Let's form a heart!" They got tired of it pretty quick...I got tired of getting thumped by ex-members! Another senior corps that began as an Army Reserve trumpet band...the 11th Field Artillery.

Commander71 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Canada's Marching Ambassadors...folded up after their 1970 season. Note the flags of many nations? On the contest field the guard member would dress in a national costume representing the flag they carried...there was John Bull, Uncle Sam, a Russian Cossack, a French Foreign Legionaire etc. Their colour presentation (remember those?) culminated with Uncle Sam and John Bull meeting front and centre and shaking hands!
