Bridgemen Alumni at DCI Eastern Classic!! October 26, 2005 The Bridgemen Organization is pleased to announce an agreement with Drum Corps International to perform at DCI's Eastern Classic. On Saturday night, August 5th 2006, The Bridgemen Alumni Drum & Bugle Corps will perform at J. Birney Crum Stadium in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The Bridgemen, once a fan favorite and 10-time DCI finalist, made its last appearance in 1987. The Bridgemen Alumni Corps is under the direction of long-time Bridgemen Alumnus George Lavelle. “We are extremely excited to perform at a place where the Bridgemen had one of it's crowning moments, winning the 1977 DCI East title” said Lavelle, “we are excited for the opportunity to entertain audiences again.“ The Bridgemen's 2006 show will include some of the Bridgemen's greatest hits. Selections will include Pagliacci, Land Of Make Believe, My Favorite Things, Summer of '42, In the Stone, and the Bridgemen's signature tune The William Tell Overture. The Bridgemen staff is led by show coordinator / percussion arranger (and DCI Hall of Fame member) Dennis DeLucia, assisted by Jim Mallen. The Brass Arranger is the legendary Larry Kerchner, assisted by Matt Krempasky. Guard choreography and instruction is in the capable hands of alumni Matt Hurley, assisted by Nancy Ducharme and Claire Kronenfeld.
