how has the band been doing since kerrill king died? she was in my section when i was in the band. i figured everyone would be really upset about her passing.
Everyone was quite suprised. We dedicated the performance at Quincy and one of the songs we were playing to her... the song was On a Hymnsong of Philip Bliss. During that song the band really got into the emotion of it all. Brian, the older alto sax player with the mustache also died (cancer) right at the beginning of the season in Fall.
He stopped in the middle of his drum solo and the audience went crazy. He then told them that he wasn't done yet. He proceeded to bang on the drums with his hands, doing all kinds of crap. He ended a huge snare roll by screaming into his drum, making it buzz funny... He kept on going. Good enough that I bought the DVD of our performance.
