At the time the charges were announced, I read them in detail, and had handicapped the outcome as being predictable: a slap on the wrist, some contrition, some minor plea to satisfy a batting average, and we would all move on. It hadn’t occurred to me that he would become ensnared in a tar pit, and that it would drag him under. Cooler heads will prevail, I thought. Eventually the prosecutors will relax, I thought.

detail the root of corporate, political and social structures which were relevant to his chosen areas of activism. He wrote his famous statements about the
Wikimedia Foundation and learned a lot in the process of running for the Board. He tackled politics head on. He began constructing an ethos that he would push forward the rest of his life. Would that we could have had the benefit of decades more of his thinking.

with some of the top corps in the country, he deserves our respect, looks forward to welcoming him, and introduces Dennis Banks. His words were few, and direct. His "it's up to you" speech was basically, "I can take you as far as you want to go. I want to win. If you want to be the best, do what I tell you, we will all work our butts off, and we will be champions. It's up to you. Any questions?"

Championship in '88 (with my brother Mark as drum major), setting a then-high score and sweeping everything, we understood what
Winning It All meant, at last. That he was able and willing to inspire thousands of students over the years to work hard and feel the singular pleasure of a perfect show is a testament to his character and love of students. What an incredible gift.
505:. Here he was, vacuuming up the technical aspects of what ran Knowledge (XXG), and trying to keep up in his own mind with the millions of ways this flavor of “open” could be improved, strengthened, and deepened. Some of us went out for drinks, and he tagged along, quietly following the conversational points, but he was clearly not in his element, and underaged.

Anna
Notation '86, a bookish flautist and sci-fi geek with a heart of gold, raised her hand and asked, "What should we call you? Are you Dennis, or Mr. B, or what?" He stared at her (with that stare of his), paused for about five or six seconds and said quietly, with a steel tone, "You will call me

When we came back the next fall ('84 - the first year we performed
Stravinsky's 'Firebird'), we knew band camp was going to be different, with the "drum corps" style. We didn't really know what to expect. This guy gets up and Mr. Mancinelli our band director says a few things about how he has been

When I was in high school, I was the drum major of one of the best marching bands in New
England, at Cheshire High School in Cheshire, Connecticut. Today I learned of the death of one of the people who was most influential in my development as a young leader, on and off the field, Dennis Banks. He

As a drum major for two years, I got to see him outside the lines, as it were. He was a very generous person who truly loved seeing kids grow beyond themselves and relished the success that came from hard work. He never faulted people for making mistakes when learning a show. He faulted people
578:
Our jaws dropped. We were in a new universe. When we went outside and marched down to the practice field and *heard* him for the first time, really letting us know what it was going to be like, we got it. And from that point forward, the future of the CHSMRB was set. He set the tone by simply

What I will remember most clearly about Aaron is the multiplicity of his mind. I don’t think he ever had one thought about anything. He had a half dozen. And another half dozen he didn’t mention. What evolved in his thinking beyond the brief time I knew him was that he began to recognize in more
586:
He was always Mr. Cool after we had performed at a show, before the scores were announced. He enjoyed strutting around after we had put it all out on the field, cigar at the ready. The smiles he flashed at us when we nailed it were genuine, hard fought, and deserved. When we won the EMBA

I never knew his family. I hope to convey to them the enormous effect he had on those of us who had the pleasure of working with him. He was a great influence on my life and many others in the band for which I am grateful and proud.
