Yesterday the RCMP celebrated 150 years of service to the public and security of the country. The RCMP Musical Ride has announced their performances across Canada. They are coming to British Columbia! They are at the Stetson Bowl in Cloverdale on June 24 & 25 and performing at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby on June 26th. I've seen them a few times and they are awesome! I hope to get to the Stetson Bowl next month. Here is their summer schedule:
The modern Musical Ride
Today, the RCMP Musical Ride consists of 32 riders plus the member in charge. It executes a variety of cavalry drills choreographed to music. The Ride tours throughout Canada and internationally between May and October, performing at approximately 40 venues each year. The present stables in Ottawa were built in 1993; the original stables built in 1939 now house the Visitor's Centre.
