In seeking to recapture to the true essence of Spirit, traditionally known for their high energy, unique approach, and fan-friendly programs, the Jacksonville - Alabama based corps has announced the musical source for their 2009 program.
In 2009 Spirit will explore the music of one of America’s premier progressive-rock groups, KANSAS, as the corps returns to a hard driving, high energy sound that fans have loved for years. The music of KANSAS presents a strong body of work that is sometimes complex, yet always accessible making it an outstanding choice for drum corps in this era as we expand our craft without forgetting the fans.
With the group’s first album released in 1974 their music was always considered to be 'ahead of its time'. Anchored by their classic hits, 'Carry on Wayward Son', 'Dust in the Wind', and 'Point of Know Return', KANSAS has produced over thirty years of outstanding work.
