PopcornEater1963 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Just now, oldsoprano said: I aged out in 1979, and as much fun as that year was, my favorite year to march was actually 1978. Having finished 23rd in our first year in 1977, no one was expecting much from us in 1978, and they certainly weren't expecting what hit them, especially early in the season. Jim Ott had been telling the hornline all spring that we were in for an amazing summer, but I don't think we really believed him until about the second show of the season in Cedarburg. When you go from 23rd to 6th it catches EVERYONE'S attention. And that's when my brother, who was marching at Jax State with some Spirit members decided..."Yea...I want a piece of THIS!" We had the '78 Finals on vinyl....until we finally wore the grooves off of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddy started me on trumpet in the 6th grade his first year out of college, and was my band director the next six years, then my corps director the following three years. I was sitting with him at Spirit's rehearsal yesterday and we were talking about how far back we go. When I was voted into the Spirit of Atlanta Hall of Fame earlier this year and they asked me who I wanted to do my introduction at the HOF banquet a couple of weeks ago, it was obvious to me that it HAD to be Freddy. Not much I wouldn't do for that man. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sincere congratulations to you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
