elphaba01 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 (edited) "Marching With the Angels": Of all the instructors, quatermasters, chaperones, and moderators from my junior corps days only three are still alive, and I am VERY much pleased to say, two of them are STILL INVOLVED with DRUM CORPS. The losses are too many to list here. It is enough to say that I miss ALL OF THEM, and owe them more than I can ever hope to repay. RIP.

KeithHall Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I know several years ago we lost Business Mgr. Clarence Steinbeck and years before Bob Nichols. I can't think of any members who I marched with back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jd83 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 The only person I marched with that I know we lost is Brent Blank. From 1979-86, he marched with the Bleu Raeders, Louisiana Southernaires, Houston Nighthawks, and 27th Lancers. Rest in peace brother. :angel: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
