A New Project for the New Year It may be hard to believe but I receive e-mail from Ontario parade and event directors asking the Ambassadors to perform. After some thought is occurs to me that with the demise of the Ontario Drum Corps Association there is no place or reference for these organizers to look for bands other than a hit-or-miss Google search. So I have decided to try to do something about it (being a new library science student and all) and have set up a wiki that will hopefully list active parade units in Canada: Canadian Parade Groups If you want to help please e-mail me. There's not much to learn as wikis are pretty easy to use and it is just a case of finding a unit's web site and listing their contact information on the appropriate page. I am starting with Ontario and BC. I will leave Quebec to the end as I think the FAMQ is still in operation.

Some photos from a stone bugler ![]() ![]() Pete Bredow has sent me a couple of photos from 1977 or 78 (if someone knows when please comment). In the second one we see the origins of the Ambassabear of 1979. Although at the moment I have no photo of the bear him or herself.

Plus ça change... Those of you who marched with the Ambassadors in 1979 may identify with this letter writer in the Red Deer (Alberta) Advocate: Complainer an embarrasment The group in question, the Red Deer Royals Drum Corps, seems to be a junior corps from Red Deer Alberta with a familiar problem with their rehearsals.

Photos of Ambassadors 1976 and 1977 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Doug Smith, official ODCA photographer in 1976 and 1977 has sent me some pictures of the Ambassadors from 1976 and 1977. It will be a little while before I can get them on the web site proper so here they are for your viewing enjoyment until then. The first image is Karen Salmon in 1976, the rest are from 1977. Click on the images to see the original extra-large version. This is good for recognizing faces in the crowd. I think I see Stirling and Wolfie already. Labels: Ambassadors, ODCA
