Colibris

The Colibris drum and bugle corps was originally formed in 1963 as a as parade drum and trumpet corps in Lachute.

The unit performed locally and regionally in a parades and exhibitions until 1970, when they entered the field of competition in the drum and trumpet “Class C” grouping, moving up to the “Class B” division in 1977 & 1978. The following year, the Colibris converted to a drum and bugle corps, under the direction of Marcel Therrien. That year, the corps was a finalist at both the 1979 “Circuit des Corps Musicaux du Québec” (CCMQ), placing 5^th in the “Class B” division and 6^th at the FAMQ “Class B” championships.

The next season, the corps traveled to the 1980 World Open “Class B” contest, where they placed 4^th in the finals, finishing 11^th at the Canadian Nationals in the “Open Class” division and 8^th at the FAMQ “Open Class” championships.

They disbanded in 1981, but a competitive guard operated for a few years later.
