After a short break, the Rebels Drum and Bugle Corps is ready te begin a new season Tuesday, Sept. 15 with a praftice at T. R. McEwen School, Wilson Rd. S. Oshawa. Young people 12 to 21 can ex- perience marching competitions and travel with the Rebels. As the corps is a year-round commitment, there is no "off" season to allow time for boredom or mischief. The group travels, eats and sleeps together (along with chaperones, cooks and equipment personnel) and develops a great feeling of family. The drum corps is beginning to be recognized as the sport that it is. An August article in Sports Illustrated refers to the recent world cham- pionships in Madison, Wisconsin as "one of the biggest sporting events ol the summer." Indiana basket- ball coach Bobby Knight, a fan of the Star of Indiana Drum Crops, says, "If a basketball team trained as hard as these kids do, it would be unbelievable. I like to take my players over there to show them what they can accomplish with hard work and teamwork. Besides, once they see them practise 12 hours a day, my players think I'm a helluva lot easier." Even though the Rebels only had 33 members performing at the world championships and were the smallest corps there, they earned a fourth-place finish in the "A60" Class (for Corps with 60 members or less) and placed ninth out of the 36 "A" class corps competing, scoring 75.3 in the finals. The horn line scored 18.8 out of 20 in preliminary competition which is the best score that they have ever received and was the highest of all the A60 Corps. Rebels would welcome new members on the horn, drum or color guard lines. Horn players can choose from various instruments ranging in size from soprano bugle, which is like a trumpet but with two valves, to the largest size contra bugle, which is similar to a tuba, again with two valves. Drummers play snare, tenor, bass, keyboards, tymbali or cymbals. The color guard interprets the music with dynamic flag and dance manoeuvres. All equipment and uniforms are supplied and no ex- perience is necessary as the Rebels' provide instructors. With annual dues of only $75, plus tour costs, it is one of the most af- fordable pastimes ' around. Meetings are Tuesday nights from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at T. R. McEwen School. For formr Rebels. the 1oth an- niversary reunion is set, for Satur- day, Sept. 26 at the Masonic Tem- ple, 91 Centre St. S. Oshawa. The event is in conjunction with the corps' annual awards banquet. The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. with a buffet. dinner expected to start about 7 p.m. Dancing to music provided by disc jockey Toni Tsot- sos will follow the presentation of awards. Tickets are $15 per person and are available by calling 723- 8750 evenings. Tobin sees risingpopularity of Ontario NDP caucus FROM PAGE 14 the 19 NDP members elected to the Legislature as "everyone will be a critic, everyone will be a star." Doug Tobin, a member of the riding executive and Ontario Education Director for the Canadian Labor Congress likened the Peterson sweep to the Mulroney sweép in the last federal election. he predicted that Peterson would become "just as smug as Mulroney", there would be "lots of patronage" and "he will not be able to control his caucus." He expects that the popularity of the Ontario NDP caucus will rise dramatically over the next few years for the very same reasons that Ed Broadbent's federal NDP is now far ahead in the opinion polls.

"It seems like an attempt to take over our league," he says of the arena, saying local control would be lost while costs could be "exor- bitant,' including paying costs to the Ontario Soccer Association which could be affiliated with the new arena. Plakmeyer says the club, which had 280 players last year, was able to play in school gyms only because it had permission to "play a con- ditioning game," which means dribbling only. He said that policy came about years ago so that teams could practice indoors for outdoor f games. Plakmeyer says there is room for interpretatiort of what is scrim- maging, which is. part of con- ditioning, and what is a game. Those scrimmages could be described as .actual league games last season, Plakmeyer concedes. "We will attempt to redefine the policy," he says. The Whitby league paid $6,600 to lise school gyms last year. Plak- meyer also says the board has ad-. mitted that adult leagues in Oshawa have caused damage to school gyms. Registration for the Whitby league will'be Oct. 3 and 17 at the Whitby Public Library, 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. FIVE GENERATIONS RECENTLY GOT TOGETHER for the above photo as great-great- grandmother Augusta Fletcher of Pickering holds baby Jean-Mattieu Poulin with dad Bruce Poulin of Montreal, great-grandmother Marion Jackson of Whitby (second from right) and grandmother Lee McCormack of Whitby.
