The Other Mike Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 That was just days before Ott died, wasn't it? I saw them about 2 weeks later in Michigan City (where they allegedly broke the glass in the press-box) Yes, the accident was on I-55 after leaving our housing site. what a shame, Lord only knows the influence that was lost with Jim Ott 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bad Bari Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 The first time I heard Spirit in 1980 was at DCI Prelims in Birmingham... I had just come into the stands and met up with some corps mates. They came on the field and the initial HIT after the solo in GEORGIA left an impression I will never forget. I watched each and every corps and loved them all but the only one that may have actually scared me was Spirit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
behold888 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Say what you will, but I was there in 2007, in front of the brass line (in the pit) and man, they were loud (and good)! :smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, gotcha, NEXT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
