xandandl Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I thought Jim Prime Jr. was also arranger in 82, Concerto in F, Rocky Point Holiday, and Cuban Overture. I started there in '77 so I will put my thinking cap on. Dennis Dewey and Frank Dorritee were there when I arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally for history buffs here that might even remotely care about this stuff : Leornard Bernstein and Don Angelica were personal friends. Angelica would take his Cadets to watch the NY Phil and introduce them to Bernstein back stage after performances or the practices Angelica would take them too there.

xandandl Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 The northern NJ arrangers were not many. While Larry Kerschner's name is remembered with The Muchachos and The Bridgemen, I think he did a bit gig with Garfield Cadets but my recollection is fuzzy. Onceuponatime and MikeD would be your best DCP sources to check. I'll get out my Cadets book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Dorritee and Al Decroach (RIP) were the heads of that magnificent 77 Brass line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Its hard to mention the Holy Name Cadets and not mention the Mura Family. Al Mura was the Cadets Brass Instructor from 1949 to 1954. The Mura family had well over a dozen Children, Cousins, Nephews in the Cadets. The Mura Family itself produced 4 Drum Majors at the Cadets over the years too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly became a family affair for many families there who often pulled the corps in an upward direction and kept the corps head above water. The Mura's for sure one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He taught both Jimmer and Donnie in Muchachos and made some day trips to Cadets in the early years that both his students were teaching Garfield.
