Major Bert Weigel Shield – Band Award
Established 1988
This shield originally started as a simple box with the old bugle inside it, but has since developed into the magnificent shield it is today. Major Bert Weigel was the driving force behind the formation of the Squadron’s current band programme. Starting in 1985 with a set of borrowed drums, the Squadron’s band has since grown into a full military band and performs throughout Durham Region.
Presented annually to the musician who has shown the most improvement over the training year.
