Spirit of Atlanta >> New Director <<

I wouldn't worry too much about "West Coasters" coming to town. Jim Ott and Tom Float made for fairly useful staff additions at one time... Looking forward to the new season! -
This guy has quite a few Drum Corps shots... a little pricey, but he provides good scans. http://stores.ebay.com/Lexibell-Racing/_i.html?_nkw=drum&submit=Search&_sid=996284190 I am not associated with this person in any way. I just purchased a few photos from him.

Bob was a class act, one of those remarkable characters you meet in Drum Corps that stays with you. I had known Bob peripherally from back in the day, but I got to know him much better in more recent years. I used to do souvies for Spirit during Finals week and Bob was a big part of the behind-the-scenes production that makes Finals run. Since the Spirit souvie trailer was airconditioned, I could count on Bob to stop by and visit when the day got hot, pre-Indy dome but he still came by after souvies moved indoors. He would stop by for ten or fifteen minutes, have a seat in one of our director chairs (appropriate now that I think about it) and swap tour stories from the old days. Bob and I only knew each other from our Finals week visits, I doubt if he even knew my name. I always thought of him as a good Drum Corps friend... one of those you only see occasionally but when you do, the years melt away and you pick up on the conversation you may have started a year ago. He was one of the greats and I'm sure many people have much better stories than mine. R.I.P., Bob.

Corps Apparel/Accessory Traditions
Jim Clark replied to Carolina09Spirit's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Spirit never had any sponsorship from Delta. It's one of Spirit's urban myths, along with cracking the glass in the Pressbox. Yes, the Delta has been Spirit's logo since the beginning. It's an abstract "A" for Atlanta and was originally created by the staff at the Atlanta TV station (WXIA) that first sponsored Spirit. The Deltas that everyone now wears were originally created by the cymbal line back in the day. They were cut from cracked cymbals. The modern Deltas are made to look somewhat like the old brass ones (since the cymbal companies now recycle cracked cymbals) by a Spirit Alumnus. Deltas are presented to Members, Staff, and Volunteers (who tour) in a Delta Ceremony each season. They are laser-etched on the back with the year and position with the Corps, so "Member" Deltas are quite unique. Or at least that's how I remember it... -

Congratulations, Spirit!!! We're all proud of you! Not bad for a Corps that everyone predicted to be at the bottom of the pack all this past Winter.

I’ve heard that stadium has unbelievable drainage, so as long as there’s no threat from lightning, scattered thunderstorms may not be as ominous as you might think… it is a Summer activity after all. -
