Spirit of Atlanta are to wear black arm bands in commemoration of the man and his legacy. May it inspire all the hornlines tonite. I’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating. I greatly admire Spirit of Atlanta’s 1980 corps and it’s perseverance, but I also have great admiration for the adults involved with the corps who must have had to put their own grief aside to support the marching members. I’m sure there were many unsung heroes that year. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is where we cue the music, both Spirit playing Georgia and Jim's sister Bonnie so beautifully playing her mellophone out West. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
