In the late 50s and early 60s
Toronto was a veritable hive of drum corps
activity. Leaside Lions was one of the many
junior corps in the Toronto area at that time.
Alumni corps members (L-R) Mel Dey, Ron Cottrell and
Terry Sweeney were once members of Leaside.

LEASIDE LIONS JUNGLE KINGS SENIOR BOYS’ BAND
This Trumpet Band, comprised of 32 boys from 15
to 20 years of age, is under the musical
direction of Mr. George Arnold. Bob Carruthers
is their capable Drum Major.
The Color Guard of five members has added finish
to their spectacular drill.
Many of the boys have come up from the Leaside
Lions Junior Boys’ Band.
The Jungle Kings have a great record for 1956: Champions of “Music on the March”, Parkdale
Lions Club's great show at Maple Leaf Stadium on
June 9th; Canadian Junior Champions, Class A, Fancy Drill, at Merritton on June 30th.
They have also appeared in numerous other
parades, tattoos and community activities
throughout Ontario, where George Arnold’s
arrangement of selections from “South Pacific”
has thrilled their audiences.
