yah baby, Jono's his name and he's a jew. It's all good. Hope your havin a
good time over there in Israel.

[Chris Mignemi]

Don't forget about Jonathan Sarofeen (Cadets 99) and Josh Rosenstock (Cadets
97,98,99). Two Jews in the Cadets that I have the priviledge of knowing. So,
what's with the lack of Jews in Drum Corps anyway? I mean hey, Jews are people
too.

Let's not forget Al and Josh Katz in the Caballeros. Two happy Jews I'm proud
to know as well. Oh, then there's always Josh Cohen in the Bushwackers.
Another happy Jew. But if there's one thing that stands out from the rest, all
these jews play a mean horn!

Now that we're starting to go back in time and also mention senior
corps, I'll add in some people from the 70s:

Anaheim Kingsmen 1977-1978: Dave "Bagel Boy" Weinberg--also marched in
1980 or 1981 BD (now writing for Bushwackers), Marilyn Schneider--
marched in 1981 Freelancers, "Solly" Solomon--also marched in Seattle
Imperials, either 1979 or 1981. Marylin's older sister marched in 1977
as well. I'm sure there were others, but I can't retrieve the names.

North Star 1979-1981: "Red" Ed Corwin, who had previously marched in
27th Lancers. He was most recently involved in DC as DCWorld's
Advertising Director. One of my seat partners in 1981 was also Jewish,
but I'm embarrassed to say that I don't remember his name at all! :-(
In 1980, he marched in the Middlesex Guardsmen. BTW, both had older
sisters who marched in 27th's guard at the same time, so add them to
the list.

VK 1978: I'm sure there were more, but Steve (?) Neugroschl from my
old HS marched with them.

SCV 1977-1978: Shari Horn and her older sister--probably others. I
knew Shari from when she marched in UCLA's flag line in 1980-1981. I
was her instructor in 1980 and picked up *immediately* that she marched
in corps! BTW, it's interesting to get another perspective on her, as
she marched with Whitney both years.

I'd be happy to see *any* of these people post on RAMD (in Dave
Weinberg's case, post again. He was "dril...@aol.com" or something
like that during 1986-1997 and was the one who announced VK's folding
on RAMD in 1997; he hasn't been seen here since). I know two others
are or were on the net, but haven't been on RAMD.

Hey this is Josh Katz from the Caballeros the Happy Jew. Before my time in the
Cabs, I did 8 years Junior Corps of which two of those years were with the Bayonne
Bridgemen and I had the pleasure of marching will many a mean horn playing jew.
Also Larry Cohen who marched Bayonne, 27th Lancers, and Blue Devils snare lines.

[arthur kellerman]

My cousin Rick and I were the only Jews marching in the Boston Crusaders
Alumni corps. I am presently marching with St. Kevins Emerald Knights and I
think I am the only Jewish member. The great Ed Denon once told me that he
often had his Crusaders play Havah Nagilha as a tribute to his Jewish
grandmother.

"Anaheim Kingsmen 1977-1978: Marilyn Schneider--"

Marilyn marched in the flagline with her sister Sue in 1977. That fall,
she grabbed the last available contra.

So when this tuba player named Dick Lamb joined up, we had to make him
SoCal's biggest and oldest rookie 3rd baritone!

[Jeremy/Lisa Daross]

We have at least three Jews in the Bucs. (We're not DCI, we're DCA, but I
figured I'd respond anyway.) One girl in the cymbal line, another in the
guard, and me. I was top bass last year, and I'm working on being in the
tenor line this year.... we'll see how that goes.

Happy Hanukkah everyone, and enjoy the winter camps!

Frank, from your old digs, let's not ignore Art Kurth - with a three
page drumcorps resume dating to the 1947 Windy City Cadets. After all,
not everyone has their own museum (the Chicago Art Institute),

Also from your time & territory - Sie Lurie, director of the Royal Airs.

Wow, Ken, you do remember me! BTW, I still have your 1970 VFW finals
tape, the one you called your BS&T tape (Blue Stars and Troopers :-)
I'm not giving it back!

Thanks for her name!

> That fall, she grabbed the last available contra.

At the time. Of course, it helped that my fellow UCLA Bruin,
Jon "Questor" Emery, moved from contra to Drum Major. Just after I
joined, another contra quit. When I finally figured out that he was
gone for good, some guy from Iowa got that last spot. :-( I didn't
get to march contra until 1981!

Oh, well, in "retaliation", I got to grab Marilyn during second tour.
;-) In retrospect, I was wasting my time. I may have the last man
with her and my future was with a then 14-year old girl who was
marching in SCV in 1978. Little did I know at the time!

> So when this tuba player named Dick Lamb joined up,

"Dick" Lamb? :-/ I didn't know my father was marching! :->

In AK, I was Richard to everyone except the UCLA people, to whom I was
Rich, and the people on the "No Smoking" bus, who called me Vince,
because Richard Horie (my mirror image in the both the drill Bruce
wrote and the one you wrote) was Richard first! BTW, you should ask
Gary Kean about the time he asked "Richard, switch hands" and forgot to
say which Richard! :-D

>we had to make him SoCal's biggest and oldest rookie 3rd baritone!

Oldest? Maybe. Biggest? You forgot about "Moe"!

Hy Drietzer....the MAN who wrote the GREAT Skyliner charts (as well as for
many, MANY others) from the 1950s to the early 1980s. His resume includes the
DesPlaines Vanguards, St Joe's of Newark, CMCC Warriors, Garfield Cadets, CT
Royal Lancers, St Joes Patron/St Ritas Brassmen, St Ignatius All Girls (many
times WO, and DCI "All Girls" Champs), and a ton of others. He also played a
pretty mean French Horn. The "High Brass" trophy at DCA Finals is named in his
memory.

We had a Jewish soprano player last year ;) When did you march Blue Stars BTW?
It's interesting because our corps song is Jewish Chorale.

My husband is Jewish.He says being in corps is against his religion, because it
is outside without a tent, not catered, and does'nt have valet parking...for

From the New York Skyliners there were a number of people from the
Hebrew persuasion. Let's see,.....there was Ralph Shur who was the
director of the Corps the year I joined who unceremoniously "impeached"
that same year in a "coup" led by another Hebrew named Walter "Winky"
Winkelman. Our horn arranger was a gentleman that I'm sure most of
the "older" people who frequent this newsgroup are familiar with
(especially arrangers who have their roots in Drum Corps like Wayne
Downey), the greatest of them all, Hy Dreitzer. Hank Goldstein was
director of the Corps the year just prior to the FIRST time the New
York Skyliners didn't take the field in the mid 50's. Al Koch ([who is
no relation to Ed the one time Major of the City of New York] is now a
retired Superior Court Judge who presided in Brooklyn, New York) played
baritone and was an Assistant Drum Major to Winky one year in the early
60's. Danny Feldstein, who moved to Chicago in the early 60's and
became heavily involved with the Chicago Vanguard Junior Corps and
helped them become a prominent force in the midwest for a few years
with Dreitzer as there arranger) played with the New York Skyliners in
the 40's and 50's.

That just off the top of my head.
