The End of Canadian (junior) Drum Corps

[I found this sitting in the pending queue. Like me, it's few years old]

This sounds dramatic but I think I did witness this at the 1980 Canadian Championships in Jonquiere, QC.

It was my second year in drum corps with the Ambassadors. That year the ODCA and the FAMQ had cooperated to make a real Canadian chamionships in Jonquiere, Quebec under the CDCA. The result was spectacular.

I remember thinking as I looked out over the retreat at finals: "All these corps are Canadian". It was one of the biggest shows I had yet marched in.
