Both corps represented the City of St. Louis and the State of Missouri across America for many years.Jazz great Clark Terry was a member before he became a famous musician. The much beloved Russell Boone, early director of Mississippi Valley University’s music program was a member. Under the leadership of Vincent Saunders, Lawrence Carroll, Floyd Morris and others, the programs developed character, pride and a sense of civic responsibility and turned out educators, police officers, lawyers, clergy, medical personnel, all influenced by their participation in the SPIRIT of ST.
