I originally started it because I liked music and wanted to march around in a cool uniform. As time went on (1970's) I did it because I loved playing and staying active and having tons of friends through the years. I went into Senior cor because I missed all that and had already taught junior corps. I liked the comraderie and the instruction, especially with the Crusaders (Mike, DA, Cooley,etc). I am somewhat out if it now by my choice but also because I put drum corps ahead of my family and my marriages and now feel that my marriage is the most important thing next to God and my sons.
However, if a cool gig came along I may jump at it. I am having a great deal of fun teaching band and chorus at my HS and developing a program that will be just as good as any HS band and choral program in this state.
