Over the years,
some members of the Toronto Signals have joined
the Optimists Alumni. Many of
them started, in their junior days, as Optimists
and have now returned to their roots.
Some of them still play in both corps.
Alumni of the Toronto Signals include: Al
Hester, Barry Bell, Bill Kellas,
Bogo Avsec, Brian Collingdon, Gord O'Halloran,
John Petti, Ron Chong,
and Vern Reid. |

The Toronto Signals Band
is a unique organization. They perform for
audiences throughout Canada and the United
States, in events such as parades, concerts,
tattoos and drum corps
shows.
Although they are associated with the 709
Communications Regiment of the Canadian Armed
Forces Reserve, they are not part of the
military; however, they
perform as their Duty Band on a volunteer
basis.
Since the Corps inception, they have won more
than 350 awards and have truly been acclaimed
‘Canada’s Marching Ambassadors’.
In 1999, the Band welcomed women to join the
ranks. Today, they make up 20 percent of the
membership and have been a great asset to
keeping the Signals’ history and traditions
alive. Over the years, many bonds and
friendships have been established with those who
have come to know the ‘Sigs’ and will continue
in the future.
