Doug Ferraro
Well, this is kinda pointless since I'm already back teaching at Bensalem,
but what the heck. I'm currently a senior at Temple University majoring in Secondary Education - Mathematics. I will be student teaching starting in January and graduating in May 2005. Since graduation, I have taught several marching bands including CB West, Hatboro-Horsham,
Haverford, Norristown, and of course Bensalem just to name a
few. I performed with Aftermath Indoor Percussion Ensemble in
2002, where we placed 7th at WGI Finals. I currently am a
member of the Hawthorne Cabalerros Drum and Bugle Corps,
where I will be in my 3rd year in 2005. Hope everyone is
doing well...see you Tuesday? haha

Andrea Marmarou
Greetings everyone! Most of you may not know me, but I was in the drumline for 4 years playing snare. I graduated in 1999 and went off to college at LaSalle University. Since then, I have graduated college and am now a special education teacher, specializing in K-1 Autism. I live and work in Flemington, NJ and love it! I miss being in band and sharing all the good times, but I am glad I retired my drumsticks and focused on my school work and career. Best of luck to all of you reading this! Give "FeFe" (the Band Room mouse) my best, and give Fitz a break sometimes....
Feel free to drop me an email at marmarou1@yahoo.com

Hi There,
I was just looking through your website the other day and man did
it bring back memories I graduated from Bensalem in 1998. I am impressed
at how well you have been doing, and I know you are enjoying it too. My name
is Elizabeth Higgins (Govosdian), I played the clarinet in both the marching
band and the concert band. I graduated from Temple University with a teaching degree and i am currently teaching. I am married and have a three
year old son named Michael. It was nice to have the chance to send you
this email. Good luck at the tournament. Hope to hear back from you.
Sincerly yours,

From the Class of 1994:
Stacey Blitz (formerly Zod)
My maiden name was Stacey Zod. I was a flute player in the class of 1994.
My four years in marching band were some of the best in my life.
I am now married and working as an editor for a training company in Philadelphia. My husband and I own a condo in the Manayunk area.
I have attached a photo of the two of us.
I just saw the rehearsal schedule for the alumni interested in the holiday concert. It's so nice to see that tradition has been picked up again.
I'm not sure if I can make it this year, but I might be able to see the concert. It would be nice to visit after 10 years.
Best of luck to the current students and staff,
Stacey M. Blitz

Great Website!
Congratulations on a great year!
I've got two Websites now - www.gridironfilms.com and I am also running
a site for Lake Howell High School, Winter Park Fl
(www.lhsilverhawks.com). I've got a link on that Website for the Silver
Hawk Regiment's halftime show - in case you are interested.
Ruby Slipper Productions is still viable and we will be shooting and
producing a music video and documentary in early 2005 but most of our
work this fall has been football.
