JoshKegley Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 We always have to remind him whenever he starts preening over his BOA Grand Champion medals that no titles won while playing a clarinet really count for anything. Hahaha Gotta love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHall Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 That's a heavy instrument to hold! Yes, Tom, JJ is a product of "that" Marian Catholic.We always have to remind him whenever he starts preening over his BOA Grand Champion medals that no titles won while playing a clarinet really count for anything.

John M. Johnson Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Thank you all for the extremely kind words! I am truly humbled. I am looking forward to this weekend. I hope to see many of you, besides my corps , this weekend. I have only done a fraction of the work that some other folks have done for drum corps. I just hope that efforts we made will keep drum corps alive in Florida for generations to come. Thank you and see you on the 50. P.S. There is nothing wrong with winning a championship playing clarinet. I think it still counts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rap48 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 As Fran said JJ is a class guy. I have only met him a few times. He may not be back on the Poidum again, but no be around drum corps NAGH. Good Luck whatever you do JJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshKegley Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 JJ, with the foundation that not only you, but the rest of the staff has put out as of lately will surely keep the activity alive in Florida for a good time to come. At least until all of us "young bucks" come to take over in a few more years!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomPeashey Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 and I intentionally didn't mention that he was a reed player... but at least he's a reed player who was taught to march correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paralda Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 and I intentionally didn't mention that he was a reed player... but at least he's a reed player who was taught to march correctly. JJ? March? Pfft. All he ever does is stand on a podium. =P In all seriousness, though, JJ has been a huge role model and great friend to me, and a lot of people like me (first year in Drum Corps), and I hope that I will be able to follow his example and hopefully impact the activity 1/10th of the amount he has. We'll miss you, bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshKegley Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Just a little recap from a GREAT Finals weekend with a man that I respect a lot. JJ, we all went out there and put on the best show we could for you sir, I hope we made your last season a VERY special year for you. We are ALL going to miss you, as deep as your strings run through DCA you have many friends thinking about you EVERY time we take that field. In short, Thank You. For Everything. I could ramble about awesome stuff about you forever, but ehhhhhh, not so fun to read. :devil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
