WindsorGman Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 In the mid 60's to early 70's, Windsor Guardsmen's home show was"Drum Across the Border". The Mariner were there 2 or 3 yrs.(gotta dig out those old programs and look) This corps was entertaining and the Dm was hard to forget. The saber throwing antics and crowd appeal placed them at the top. With no disrespect, they were not the winningest corp, but after all this time (Mariners folded in early 70's) so many people remember them. Is it better to be a winner, or to be remembered? It's roughly 35yrs later and we're dicussing a man and his corps, most of us never met Jim, but it seems that many of us 'knew" him, acknowledged him, and respected him. There was more than one Dm in Mariners, I guest regardless of who we saw on the field, we're now thinking of Jim. He IS a part of our memories, our youth and drum corps history. His passing makes us realize that the bonds we share as drum corps family are stronger because of people like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
