OP, if you know any other details...family contact info, grave info, I can go place a wreath appropriate to a dearly departed PR vet.

year1buick Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Wish I could have gone. I got to know Opus when I was in the marching band at E.T.S.U. He was a helluva guy and a big part of why I tried out for Regiment in 92. I still remember talking to him one night after rehearsal, in his dorm, when he showed me his 89 uniform. (Still have no idea how he pulled that off...) RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NakedEye Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Here's some video I posted of him in 1993. He tries to be very serious at first, and then at the end his real personality comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withstiximakefire Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Mr chenault was a low brass instructor in my district when i was a begginer, one time i wore a phantom regiment shirt and he made a comment about me not even having to try out for a concert band positition, i would be first because of my shirt,he moved to a different district in the years to come, i was never under his direction but he he was great guy, he will be missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
