The Militaires rehearse on Wednesday evenings at the Branch 479 Legion, 5603 Spring St, Niagara Falls, Ontario from 7PM to approximately 9PM.

In the event that rehearsal is cancelled, an email will be sent out to the membership and a notification will be posted on our Facebook page.

There are no membership fees. We generally perform about 10 to 12 times per year in various parades and events in the Niagara Region. When we perform in parades, we do not march. We perform in comfort, seated on our covered trailer.

We welcome new members 18 years of age and up, but do have special provisions for those under 18. There are openings in all sections and we welcome all instruments and skill levels.

Some drum corps or marching band experience or musical experience in brass, percussion or keyboards is desireable, but we are willing to train and have the tools to do so.

We offer positions in bugle, drum and glockenspiel sections. We will provide the instruments, music and uniforms. We welcome those with their own other instruments to join also and will provide you with the music and uniforms.

There is plenty of time for group and section work to get new members caught up and older members to be familiar with what we are playing.

We also understand that life and family come first. We ask only a few things of our members:
