  1. This is a very good result for Windsor Police, they should be the band to watch this season. But what on earth has happened to Toronto Police? I’m guessing they lost a lot of players to the 78th?

  2. The Frasers were amazing..they pulled it off with the mega pipe section. The entire band sounded incredible. It was kind of amusing though, as the band approached the line the crowd had to back up to make room. Good job to Windsor Police as well. It looks like they are making their mark in grade 1 for sure.
