When I marched Spirit in 1980 there were loads of Southerners in the corps. Guess that's true now. Not sure. Always admired the Jax State Band.

@@DennisJohnsonDrummer It's still true. Tons of these kids march corps, may not be spirit in entirety but they're there because they enjoy playing these types of shows.

@@christopherbernhardt I knew they marched D.C.I. but just wasn't sure about the connection with Spirit. When I marched in 1980 Spirit was a top tier corps with two of the best that D.C.I. had to offer in the percussion and brass captions. Spirit was not a stepping stone to other corps because Spirit was in the hunt for the top spot and as a result kids marched Spirit and stayed there. We actually had drummers who auditioned and marched Spirit in 1980 from other corps, so it was the other way around back in the day. Memories.
