An accomplished teacher, Prime is respected for his unending concern for the kids. According to Thom Hannum, &#8220;Prime&#8217;s students and colleagues have nothing but the highest regard, not only for his musical talent, but his personal integrity. &#8220;Jimmer&#8221; (as he is called by his friends) is kind, thoughtful and humble qualities which endear him to any individual he encounters.&#8221;<\/p><p>As a fledgling brass arranger, Prime landed his first job with the Black Diamond Regiment and eventually moved on to the Crossmen, Bridgemen, Garfield Cadets and Star of Indiana. Says Dennis DeLucia, &#8220;If the artistic growth of drum corps in the &#8217;70s can be defined in part by the brass arrangements of DCI Hall of Famers Jim Ott, Wayne Downey and Jim Wren, then the drum corps sounds of the &#8217;80s and &#8217;90s are defined by the creative brilliance of Jim Prime, Jr.&#8221;<\/p><p>Time and time again, Prime has demonstrated his ability to reach the fans through his musical arrangements. Spanning three decades, Prime has given us &#8220;West Side Story,&#8221; &#8220;Rocky Point Holiday,&#8221; &#8220;Mass,&#8221; &#8220;Porgy and Bess&#8221; and &#8220;Pines of Rome,&#8221; among many other memorable melodies.<\/p><p>Says DeLucia, &#8220;He is everything he seems: Talented, brilliant, passionate about music and education and compassionate about people.&#8221;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3b159e elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"f3b159e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/Fd47YZvmllg&quot;,&quot;mute&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;loop&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;lazy_load&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":34538,"template":"","hall-of-fame-year":[32],"class_list":["post-34563","hall-of-fame","type-hall-of-fame","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","hall-of-fame-year-32"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
