Yesterday afternoon the students participating in the Cadet Star Program had their formal Inspection. The Star Program is conducted between Fall and Spring of each year through a combination of classroom sessions, drill and expeditions. Students in both the Upper and Lower School participate in the Star Program and work to achieve the various levels throughout the years – starting with Green Star and working through Red, Silver, Gold and finally the National Star of Excellence. LCol David E. Meehan, Commanding Officer 56th Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery served as our Reviewing Officer and talked about the importance of service to the community.
Just came across your Cadet Inspection video on the web. As a person of grade school age, I used to watch the Ridley College band practice. They had bugles in those days. Everyone would be in step. Things have changed. No more bugles and no more keeping in step. I have been a drummer-instructor for over 50 years.
Playing in the best Drum Corps and Pipe Bands. I congradulate you for keeping
Banding alive. It is difficult these days as there are so many distractions.
