5, tt. . . N---. I Xi BAND RH PSODIES RPLE GOLD This year the musical directors of the Academy, Messrs. Bort- man and Casseday faced what was thought to be one of their worst years. Fourteen band members had graduated in june T56 and pros- pects looked rather grim. Half-year, however, saw the group playing up to par under the leadership of these men and Brothers Consi- dine and Delaney. Included in the public performances of the band this year were: the Motheris Club reception for the new members, the Fatheris Club Sport night and the Saint Patrickis Day Parade where the well-timed of the band enabled the school to be a top contender for the Cardinal Spellman Civilian Marching Trophy. The Marching Bands most notable event during the year, though, was the radio performance of a medley of Irish Marching tunes for station VVOR. Arranged by Mr. Casseday, this was heard over 592 radio stations in the United States, Cuba and Canada. In addition, another tape of the broadcast was flown to Ireland to be heard there. The concert section of the Band entered three groups in the Catholic Music Festival. These, the sax quartet, clarinet four, and a mixed brass contingent added another public appearance to the school's long excellent record. New to the school also this year was the formation of the junior Band to train those with the potential talent for a higher role in the Senior Organization. The end of each year normally sees a great drop in the ranks of the group, due to graduation. This time, however, three fourth-year men left. Bob Maglione, clarinetist and leader of the Power Swing Band, Pat Newman, drummer impressionist and leader of the march- ing section, and Donald Wfilson and his trombone are the departing trio. These three, as all graduating band members, will be missed. Their absence, nevertheless, will not be the cause for an abundance of misfortune. Though possessing ulcers and shocks of gray hair, Poweris two Music Moderators will be back at their old post, mold- ing and shaping wild talent into another fine Band. MR. CASSEDAY and Bro. Considine go over the Musical program for June Music Festival. 63
