RIP Trevor Jones

April 18, 2007, Trevor died of a massive heart attack. I knew Trevor through the Crossmen Drum & Bugle Corps. He had the sweetest, fullest tone on a horn. If fact, he was know by the nickname "O" because of it. This man was dedicated to the marching arts. The following is copied from a website for the Teal Sound Drum & Bugle Corps.


"It is with great sadness to report that on Wednesday April 18, 2007 Trevor Jones passed away of a heart attack. Trevor was the corps 1st brass caption head and show coordinator. He held that role from 1998-2002. Trevor was the 1st person to commit to this young corps. He moved from Philadelphia to Jacksonville and lived with me in the 1st 2 years of the corps. Trevor was dedicated and worked hard to create a strong brass presence for Teal Sound. He is the major reason for Teal’s early competitive success. Trevor was strong at taking a young staff and pushing them to achieve greatness. Even when Trevor was not working full time with the corps, I would always call on him to consultant and just check things out. I called on him to come back on full time for the 2006 tour and with his leadership and knowledge Teal Sound was able to continue as a grand finalist once again. Trevor was also responsible for assembling the majority of the staff for the 2007 corps. Trevor will forever and always be a Teal Sound legend. We will all deeply miss Trevor. This is a great lost to the entire drum corps community." Michael Butler – Teal Sound Founder
