CORPS Photos
4e Brigade drum and bugle corps was formed through a merger between the Laurentiens Fantaisistes and the Mousquetaires in the fall of 1970.
With more than 100 members and a solid staff including Jacques Dupras, Gilles Beauchamp and Michel Pilon, along with experience acquired from the merger, the corps was well positioned for future success. The Brigade was one of the most innovative musical corps in Québec at the time.
In their inaugural season, they participated in the “Class B” division at the Canadian Nationals, finishing in 6th place.
The following season, the corps competed extensively with a return to the “Class B” division at the Canadian Nationals, earning a 3rd place finalist spot, the Drum Corps Canada championships with an 8th place finish, crowned the Central Canada Circuit champions and finally a 2nd place finish at the FAMQ “Class A” championships. In 1973, 4e Brigade entered the World Open “Class A” division and finished with an impressive 14th place and capped off their season with the FAMQ “Class A” championship trophy.
The corps returned once again to the World Open in 1974, finishing in 21st position and successfully defended their FAMQ title.
In 1975, due to a lack of financial resources in maintaining a significant staff budget, the corps remained active before merging with the Vaneck from Répentigny in the fall of 1975 to form the 4e Brigade Vaneck.
