Les Stentors Drum and Bugle Corps is an Open Class (formerly ''Divisions II & III'') competitive junior drum and bugle corps. Based in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Les Stentors perform in Drum Corps International (DCI) competitions.〔(Drum Corps International :: Marching Music's Major League™ )〕 ==History== ''Sources:''〔(Les STENTORS de Sherbrooke - Historique )〕〔(corpsreps.com - The Drum Corps Repertoire Database )〕〔(Drum Corps International :: Marching Music's Major League™ )〕 In 1987, the Academie Musicale Drum and Bugle Corps of Sherbrooke started the Cadets de l’Académie. Following their first season, the parents of the cadet corps broke away, changing the name of the young parade corps to La Relève Musicale. In 1993, reacting to the suggestion that the name indicated the corps remained associated with Academie Musicale, the corps changed its name to Les Stentors. The corps made the transition to a field competition corps in 1996, competing in the Fédération des Associations Musicales du Québec (FAM-Q) drum corps circuit. The corps made its debut at the DCI World Championships at Sun Prairie, Wisconsin in 1999, placing 11th of 12 corps in Division II. The corps returned to DCI in 2001 and has since attended DCI every year except 2006, when the corps was inactive for a year, and 2007, when the corps opted not to strain its financial resources by traveling to the West Coast when the championships were held in Pasadena, California. Les Stentors has been the only active competitive junior drum and bugle corps in Quebec since 2003. The corps went inactive in 2006 due to insufficient membership, but DCI approved its return to competition in 2007. In 2014, Gabriel Francoeur, corps manager since 1997 was honored as one of four people named as DCI Volunteers of the Year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Les Stentors Drum and Bugle Corps」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
