Now, this is a great photo!!

I remember Grantham being small in size but big in crowd appeal - "Marie", "Tangerine" - great stuff! Can't tell from this photo if Tom May is in the drum line.

For the record I'll include a list of former Grantham members that marched for The Toronto Optimists over the years. There might in fact be more but here's a good start. I think that you will find that there were more Grantham members in the Optimists than any other Corps. All I can remember now is all those long drives but it was worth it ! - Brian

2017, it would be interesting to see how many Grantham players are still active in Drum Corps.
