The Slippery Rock Marching Rockets
and Pride Alumni have
been involved in at least six reunion meetings on Campus.
The 2002 Reunion was as
"expected" both fun and as unexpected.......NOT WET!
Of course this was a special year.
The
Marching Band field was dedicated FOREVER as the
Blase S. Scarnati Marching Band
Field.
Mr. S. sent us a special message he asked us
to share. So in his own words:
Dear Kevin:
There are just too many thank you's to write and
send to various individuals, so I thought something over our web site
would do the trick. Could you send the following:

October 9, 2002
Dear Marching Rockets,
I wish to thank everyone for the warmth, love
and friendship that was displayed for the field dedication and
the roast. Never have I felt so honored in all my career.
Those that did not attend really missed an event that will
never be duplicated, just remembered. I felt like I was on a
roller coaster the entire day. What fun!
You are a proud bunch of individuals
and I hope you continue to come back for Homecoming. It
only takes one person to call another person who calls another
person and before you know it you have a gathering of all of
your old Marching friends. You had something great. Don't
throw it away.
I will be forever thankful for the
field dedication. As one person said, "It is good to know
someone that has something named for them before they die". I
hope to be around for a long time with the good Lord willing.
Remember to "Shine Like New Money" and I hope to see everyone
for Homecoming 2003.
Love ya all,
'S'

Check this out this PDF file from the Spring 2001 issue of the
Alumni Association Magazine!!! |
| Now for some
fun... In 1972 Mr. S. had
the Band perform and it was recorded in Miller Auditorium.
This is a photo of the album cover.
Click for larger image.
We have been trying for some time to
finally get a copy of the 19 songs up as mp3 files so those of use from
1972 could enjoy and remember but there are songs there many have played
over the years such as Suite Judy Blue Eyes and the Alma Mater and the
Fight Song.
Enjoy.
The songs are in the order they appear on
the album and are "spelled" as they appeared!
Nice to be with you
