Knowing the pain they have been going through this week, especially the drum line, this video taken of the past few days brought tears to my eyes.  Notice the close ups, especially of the snare drummers, those closest to Finis:  the "little drummer girl", the percussion section leader, and just the emotions behind the whole notion of being a tribe.

Here are the funeral arrangements just posted by Music City.

Music City Drum and Bugle Corps

Please join the members and staff of the Music City Drum Corps in extending our condolences to the family of Finis Sparkman, one of our snare drummers who passed away on Tuesday after experiencing complications from an ongoing medical condition.

Finis was a dedicated corps member who enjoyed the friendship and respect of his fellow corps members. We celebrate his life and his love of music performance. He had also chosen to be an organ donor, and we are all grateful for this gift that will benefit many others.

MCDC is extremely honored by a request from the family to participate in the funeral services which will be held at Payne Chapel, 212 Neill Avenue, Nashville, TN 37206 on Thursday, June 22 at noon. Visitation will take place on Wednesday, June 21 from 3-6 at Lewis & Wright Funeral Home, 2500 Clarksville Hwy, Nashville, TN 37208 and on June 22 at Payne Chapel at 11 AM.

If you are able please consider contributing to a fund to assist Finis' family with the funeral expenses. I'm sure they would be grateful. https://www.youcaring.com/finissparkmanandfamily-849093

We appreciate the tremendous outpouring of support from our fellow drum corps organizations, friends, families, and fans. Please continue to keep us all in your thoughts and prayers.
