That was great! Congratulations to the Militaires and to harold. We are all very fortunate to have the likes of Harold in our midst. He is very talented arranger/instructor as well as a great performer. He also plays with the Hitmen, of which I am fortunate to be a member. He is our "Herald" Trumpet.

TomPeashey Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) No surprise on this end... Herald McJury has managed to avoid the limelight he richly deserves... Often, when he was playing with St. Joe's someone would ask... who is that "animal" playing that lick? Was that the famous Donnie Allen? Nope... that was Batavia's secret weapon... Herald McJury... Having marched next to him in Crusaders, I can vouch for his ability. He's from a time when you played every note of every song, no matter what octave... He also was a HUGE influence on Joey Pero. Congrats Herald old friend... Edited December 18, 2010 by TomPeashey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
