Magnificent Yankees - (DP program book)



from the 1962 Drum Pageant program book

The Magnificent Yankees, Utica Post 229 Boys Drum Corps, enter their second year of field competition with a sparkling new show. Organized nearly 25 years ago, the corps has long been a favorite at parades throughout central New York. Last year, under the sponsorship of Post No. 229, the American Legion, the Yankees participated in several contests in New York and New England as members of the Hudson-Berkshire Junior Circuit.

On the field they are under the direction of their talented Drum Major Dick Robilloto. The very pleasing musical arrangements are the work of Mr. Joe Buncie with drums arranged and instructed by Mr. Joe Wormworth. The wide-open drill is the product of Mr. William "Bud" Floyd who also is the corps Director. Business Manager is Mr. Mike Dimeo and Quartermaster is Mr. Joe Malachino. Post Chairman is Mr. Joe Berthold. The corps is fortunate in having a fine staff of parents and post members. The huge color guard is commanded by John Galle, who is also the Corps Captain; and is instructed by Mr. Bob Morey and Mr. Floyd.
