Hello Fellow Alumni!  After three great years in band I had to have more, so I marched in the bass line with the Santa Clara Vanguard for three years (84-86).  I continued to work with the Emerald Regime drum line from 1984 to 2002.  I am currently working up at Valley Christian High School teaching their bass line and percussion.   There are a handful of us Emerald Regime alumni including Troy Gunter (band director) on staff at VC.  I am also the webmaster (so to speak) for this site.

Thanks to all of you for your participation!

I just did a random Google search of my name and found the Alumni page. After seeing that my brother and sister were listed I decided that I wanted to do the same, so here I am.

Band was one of the greatest highlights of all of my schooling through graduate school. While I had wonderful experiences along the way, band stands out because of the friends I made. Some of these friends continue playing very important roles in my life.

I also appreciate all of the hard work, dedication and teamwork skills I learned and try to practice on a daily basis. Perhaps I should have practiced my clarinet in the same manner...oh well.

I love meeting people and finding out that they were in band, too. It's a small world of band geeks out there!!

I look back on all my years in school and being in band are my greatest memories. I appreciate all that I was taught from Cricket and Mr. Rubino. They were the next best thing next to my father and grandparents for teaching me discipline and strong morals. And, I also met my husband my first night of practice!

When I think back to the Emerald Regime, it always brings a smile. It was a lot of hard work, but we had a lot of  fun.

I have so much respect for Rubino and Cricket.  They were able to get over 100 teenagers to learn to work together to create something beautiful.  We learned to march next to people we might not have liked, or might never have talked to otherwise.  Learning to work as one unit is one of the most important lessons I learned in High School.

Rubino, Cricket Thank You!  Thanks for the memories, thanks for the life lessons, and thanks for the good times.  We really did do it " Our Way".

Hello! I thought it was time to update my entry. I am (still) married to Ken McCain (also a Live Oak graduate '85). He managed to skip the band experience, but his brother Phillip McCain played the trumpet in the band, don't ask me what years though. I do know he went to Russia way back when. ANYWAY...Ken and I have two great kids, Adrianna & Quinton. Adrianna has inherited my spirit, which means payback is going to be brutal. Quinton is a mellow guy who is very artistic and quite the gameboy addict. I still live in the area. I am in the process of rebuilding my family's restaurant due to a tragic fire on June 29,2002. I could rank that right up there with the death of my father. I am blessed that no one was hurt though. So, at the moment I am a full time mom who volunteers a heck of a lot at Nordstrom School. I hope to see lots of familiar faces when we reopen. Check out our website www.sinaloacafe.com.
Take care!

Still living in Gilroy. Check out face book more and more of us are on there.

I have many great memories from being in the ER, especially all the friends I made.  I look forward to hearing from some alumni!

Rock and roll will save your soul.
Doug, Mark, Jeff... take off A'
As far as Steve K's pudding- it's all true.

I am finally an alumni!  I tried filling one of these out my sophomore year and was totally denied. now I am a freshman at sfsu. The nerd I am though I'll totally go to ERI.

Greetings from Oregon! I'm still here (since 1984) and really love it up here. I'm still a Lt. for the Fire Department - going on 18 years now. It's a great job and I work with great people.

Boy is this a great website!! I love looking at all the old photos and reading everybody's recent bios. One of these days I'm going to have to make it to the 4th of July alumni parade, and that great cruise!! Hope everyone is happy & healthy and doing what you want to do. I'd love to hear from you!

Some of you may remember Lorna & Carla Pusateri in the Color Guard - I married their cousin from Santa Clara.  We have 3 sons, hence the e-mail address and also our license plate: MY3SNNS
