Spirit of Atlanta Drumline warming up for Finals, Drum Corps International World Championship.
Spirit of Atlanta finished in 11th Place this year, out of 12 Finalists.
This drumline looks and sounds pretty clean and solid, I think we should have scored better.
Anyway, some late night motivation for y'all.
I was in the snare line in my high school band, ‘74 thru ‘77. These cadences are just a bit more complex than the “eight bars and a cymbal crash” we used to perform.
Attended DCI regional competitions in Michigan in ‘76 (Pontiac) and ‘77 (Ypsilanti), my high school marching band was never the same after that.
I marched ‘83-’86. We went to DCI North in Ypsilanti a couple of times. I think I still have a plastic ‘EMU’ cup and a T-shirt that says ‘Ypsi Ypsi Ypsi’.
