2muchcoffeeman Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 He drifted in and out of the drum corps orbit, to varying reviews. My own memory might be altering the reality of the event, but I recall a short visit by the coach to our corps in which he praised the work ethic and devotion to excellence that he saw in the activity.
