bstar82 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Drum corps lost a great instructor today with the passing of Mike McCool. I was taught by him 35 years ago and I would see him every now and then thru the years and he always remembered me. I remember being at a weekend camp in Lompoc, CA and discussing drill design with him. And in 83 in the Orange Bowl parking lot before finals talking about what Garfield was doing on the field at the time. He was blunt and funny and loved the kids and this activity. Rest in Peace Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironlips Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Mike was an irreplaceable original. His acerbic wit was exceeded only by his brilliance. I will miss both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tesmusic Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Never met him but RIP. Seems like he was involved a lot with California corps. Anyone have a bio on him, would love to learn more about this man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
