My 9th Grade

This page contains photos (with names) of Holy Cross Bands as shown in the Holy Cross Yearbook for the graduating class of 1969.

1968-69 Holy Cross Tiger Band

1968-69 Holy Cross Cadet Band

1968-69 Holy Cross Bengal Band

1968-69 Holy Cross Band Officers

1968-69 Holy Cross Stage Band

In my humble opinion (I recognize people may likely disagree with me), the 1968-69 Holy Cross Stage Band was the best musical group assembled at Holy Cross in the years that I attended (1967-1972). In honor of this group, I am providing individual senior photographs of each of these 20 students, according to graduating year. My deepest respect goes out to each of them as accomplished high-school-aged musicians.

Apologies if I got the band participation years wrong. These either came from the yearbook, or my best data collection efforts from analyzing available photographs. Some data is missing, example Marco Mannino was likely in the Stage Band in the 9th grade, but the yearbook did not include Stage Band participation for Marco, and I have no photographic evidence to establish that fact.
