copyright Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) This was so great! As a 2002 ageout I appreciate this low tech way of talking about the highs and lows of the season (one of the greatest experiences of my life, personally). Earlier on in the posts you mentioned a couple of names connected with the Colts (and of course Crossmen) Chuck Naffier and Dean Musson. Sad to know that Dean is no longer with us, he seemed to have such an impact on so many students lives https://www.dci.org/news/former-crossmen-director-musson-passes-away Dean Musson Tribute Edited August 12, 2020 by copyright thanking the OP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfrontz Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) It seems there's no thread safe. Kudos to the 2002 Crossmen. Edited August 12, 2020 by mfrontz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfrontz Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I wouldn't want this thread to end without paying tribute to 2002 drum major Joseph Kempf. I did not have the pleasure to meet or know him, but he graduated from my high school and thus his marching career began in the same HS marching band in which I was formed. He was a drum major for the Reading Buccaneers in 1999-2000, marched Crossmen in 2001-02 (and as previously mentioned, served as 2002 drum major) and was visual staff for Reading in 2003 and Crossmen in 2004. He was killed December 19, 2004 when a car hit him as he was assisting victims of a multi-vehicle accident on Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania. He is a posthumous member of the Crossmen Hall of Fame, and April 29, 2007 was declared Joseph Kempf Day in Pennsylvania. Had he lived, he would have influenced many more lives as a teacher, first responder, and as a staff member in drum corps. His death was tragic and needless, but it seems he made a difference in the 24 years he was given. Requiescat in pace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
