Real name: The Canadian Commanders Drum & Bugle Corps

The Canadian Commanders (later the Burlington Commanders) were formed in November, 1963, through a merger of two Ontario corps, The Viscounts from Hamilton and the Jolly Jesters from Toronto were both struggling to maintain a respectable presence on the Canadian senior drum corps scene at the time, so Fred Hawkes of the Viscounts and Vince Macciocchi of the Jesters joined forces and gained the sponsorship of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Association.
