A genius at drill..and it was all done in his head....Jack Taylor of the Monarchs and King's Regiment.

Drum instructor and judge Ken DeStephens who did a great job with the Cranford Patriots. He and I judged together a lot in the GSC, and I taught the Monarchs/King's Regiment while he was teaching Cranford. A VERY great person.

Jack Pratt...I spent a lot of time at his house in Hawthorne when we worked together with the KR.

"Jersey Giants":

JIM DONNELLY!!!!!! :w00t: THE "Music Man" for the many times National Junior Champion St Vincents Cadets. One of the FIRST "Bugle Instructors" to get the horns to actually MAKE MUSIC!!!

MICKEY PETRONE!!!!! :tongue: St Vincents director and drill instructor. Taught Woodsiders and St Lucys Cadets after St Vinnies folded, Ballantine Brewers, and was "CEO" of DCA right up until his death,

Although hailing from NYC's "Brroklyn" Mt Carmel Cadets, "Jumpin Joe" Genero taught the Hawthorne Caballeros in the late 1950's and early sixties, and NY Skyliners "Main Man" Hy Drietzer had av few seasons with the Garfield Cadets. Delaware's Larry Kerchner wrote for and taught the St Andrews Bridgemen and Muchachos (Among many others). :satisfied:

Some "Jersey Judges" can include the "Mafouse" family, the Demko's, Don Angelica, Jimmy D'Amico, and Frank Pissillo.
