Hey Folks. Rich Cesani here. I never actually marched but I was part of the percussion staff along with Dave China, Larry Visconti, Dennis Delucia and Brian Callahan for the '77,' '78,+' '79 seasons. We had 2 DCA titles during that time and took high drums at finals for all 3 years. I'm more proud of these achievements than any others in my time in drum corps. Which includes National titles with the Garfield Cadets,['61 + '62]; Hawthorne Caballeros, ['66] and the Troopers as instructor with Fred Sanford also in '66.

I moved to Memphis, were I still live, in 1980 to help set up a junior corps, The Memphis Blues. That only lasted 3 years. Although there is now a pretty good division II junior corps based here. It was started by some of the "Blues" alumni.

I'm still involved with percussion as an instructor at local high schools. I also teach privately and do a lot of playing. Mostly Jazz, Big Band, and some R+B. I've also written some music for commercials and one movie, “The Firm”. I can be seen in this movie in a scene early on, an outdoors roof-top party. I'm the drummer in the band!!!

I am greatly honored to be included in your alumni list.
