It had all the attendees on it.. i.e. stage band, jazz band, chorus etc.... (that was State's from 8th grade..Mario said that they accepted 9th graders, but he sent a hand full of us) I did google to get to you. I was "googling" John Solan and the RBT Band and the first thread that came up had you in it. I went directly to your site. I've been doing graphic art for the past twelve years and i'm moving over to the net. So i'm real up on "key" words. Print is dead. It was fun while it lasted. the album was the one that they made about the State performances. It had all the attendees on it.. i.e. stage band, jazz band, chorus etc….

I got out even earlier than you, by going to Seton. I left after freshman year. I went to All-State Chorus too, chosen by Mr. Cerroni in eighth grade. We had to hike down to the senior high to go. Bought the album also. Classic. Thanks for the heads up on the local radio shows, i'll try to stream it. I'm in So. Cal. That's west of twist run road :-) Bc ps. i do remember rosaleen, don't forget to bring a capo. there was magic there. you could tell. yeah, we were in the same class together @ M-E.

I just loved him. He was so tough, and never complimentary at all....just made me buckle down and SING, so I respected him very much. I'm very fortunate that he caught me at an early age before I had a chance to learn any bad vocal habits. By teaching me to sing with no vibrato and to LISTEN, he gave me a great gift. I DON'T remember a student teacher from that time, but of course I certainly remember that beautiful little Italian song, can still sing it! Speaking of those good old days, Rosaleen Marion (remember her!?), who had such a beautiful voice, she plays in a band in Buffalo, NY and has put out a couple of CDs, which she sent to me. And John Clark!! God, what a trip! He could really sing, too!! Amazing how the four of us (John Clark, Rosaleen Marion, Rhonda Plunkett, and myself) all came together at the same time and made such beautiful music together at such a young age. I credit Mr. Cerroni with having the ears and the courage to put us forward, despite the school's rules about only presenting an approved (boring!) repertoire...we had such a blast! I DID go to All State, and from there, got a scholarship to Chautauqua Institute, and spent a summer there. All due to All State. Thanks again to Mr. Cerroni, who made sure I auditioned for that every year. Later, when I was at Eastman, I went back and performed at Chautauqua again with a vocal group (we all had the same voice teacher at Eastman). Did you and I go to M-E together? were you in my class? I'm sorry if I don't recall....I graduated early and got out of there soon as I could. Thanks for writing I love hearing from the waaaaaay back!! by the way, I am currently (April 15, 2008) getting airplay on WINR 680 AM in Endicott, and will be interviewed this Saturday at 11 a.m.; I'm also on WSKG RADIO (I think that's the call letters) on Bonnie Grice's afternoon jazz show (4 - 6 pm I think)....listen in!!

Love the part about you throwing Mario a bone. He was a great teacher. Hip & Groovy at the same time. I remember you. your website is clean, love the retro stuff. Do you remember the Italian student teacher who taught us "Tu Scende Della Stella" (sp?) ( for the x-mas show )? "Everybody's Got A Thing", Selections from Godspell, Country Roads. John Clark singing "Oh Holy Night" ( before his voice changes....let's hurry ) Also, did you get selected for NY State - All State Choir? The year they held states at M-E? Just wondering.
