Etoiles d'Or

The Étoiles d’Or drum & bugle corps was originally founded in 1967 as a majorette corps from Ste. Dorothée.

Over the years, the corps evolved into a parade unit and incorporated as a ‘not for profit” organization in 1976. The Laval unit progressed with several appearances and gained tremendous experience in Québec, Ontario and the Northeastern United States. They entered the field of competition in the Class “C” division of the FAMQ circuit in 1979 and would rank as a finalist over the next 4 years, including two 2^nd place finishes (1980 & 1982), one 3^rd in 1981 and a 5^th position in 1979.

In 1983, the corps expanded their competitive opportunities, joining the Drum Corps East (DCE) “Class A” division, placing in 7^th position and moved up to the FAMQ “Class A” category, where they placed 2^nd in the finals. The 1984 season was a rebuilding year for the group as they placed 2^nd in the FAMQ “Class B” finals and successfully returned to the 1985 DCE “Class A/60” preliminaries, finishing 4^th and was crowned the DCI Canada “Class A/60” champions, culminating once again with a 2^nd place in the FAMQ “Class B” finals. 

The corps disbanded in 1986.
