Canadian Nationals 1981: and the score is...


I have had question from an alumnus of the Blue Saints. He is asking for scores from the 1981 Canadian Nationals in Windsor. Does anyone have then in their scrapbook? Unfortunately they are missing from corpsreps.com and all I have on the Ambassadors site is the placement in "B" class. If you know make a comment on this post. In particular we would like to know the placement and score of the Blue Saints who should be in "C" class in ODCA in 1981.


Thanks

Blue Saints are in Open Class semi-finals!















Good job Saints! (photo from 2009)



Historic firsts as corps jockey for position at Open Class Semis

...

Blue Saints (16th, 59.40) had a record-breaking season in 2010. Jordan Alvey, battery percussion, summed it up: “We’ve come a long way,” he explained. “We started two months ago, got the music memorized, then learned the drill. They’ve become a group I’m very proud to have taught. It’s been their highest season yet and I’m proud to be a part of that.” The corps’ score is a full four points higher than last year.

Today was a milestone in their long history. Fifth-year mellophone Daniel Faubert said, “We’ve been doing well for our corps this year. We’ve broken record after record set for ourselves. Making Semifinals was a huge thing for us because we’ve never been to the Semifinals ever before.”
