I started in drumcorps in 1957 with a small firemans corps outside the Pittsburgh area in the community of North Bessemer.... Graduated to the Vern Acklin Cavaliers in 1960...Pittsburgh Rockets in 1977 and the Steel City Ambassadors in 1980...I still play baritone with Steel City today... I have also played with NY Skyliners, Baltimore Yankee Rebels, Reading Bucs, Atlanta CorpVets, Erie Thunderbirds, Mon Valley Express, Allegheny Monarchs and wintered with the Rochester Crusaders...I celebrated my 50th year anniversary in drumcorps with the Erie T-Birds who were celebrating their 50 year as a drumcorps.... It's a passion you don't want to lose and everyone involved in the activity are winners...
