Ambassadors appear in exhibition
from the program of "Impact '85":
On behalf of the Staff, Instructors and Marching Members of The Ambassadors of Newmarket Drum and Bugle Corps, we welcome you to Canada Day Impact '85.
The Ambassadors this year have undergone a tremendous change in Marching Members. Of the 80 young people in our organization performing for you this evening 60 Members joined us on April 18th, 1985. This has put our programme behind slightly but we feel their progress to this point has been outstanding. We hope you agree and acknowledge it with applause.
We would like to give special thanks to Mayor Ray Twinney, The York Region Board of Education and Separate School Board and the teachers for their support of our Youth Marching Programme.
We hope you enjoy the performances this evening of all competing Corps.
The Ambassadors wish all competing Corps best wishes and Good Luck.
Robert G. Middleton,
Executive Director,

From Parades & Pageantry, Vol 14 No. 8, August 1985
"This was the first show for the Ambassadors of Newmarket, and with a largely new membership did an excellent performance. Their next, and last show of the year will be the Nationals in Waterloo, Ontario, On August 24th."
From Drum Corps World, August 31, 1985
"The contest featured the first show this year of the Ambassadors of Newmarket. They had a tough winter and had to put together a corps of mostly new members. They have been practicing all summer and have done a number of appearances in exhibition. they were the only Canadian corps to take part in the Fourth of July parade in Washington, DC." - Al Tierney
