Had I not known otherwise, I would
have thought these recordings were those of famous big bands
such as Glenn Miller or
Tommy Dorsey,
but in fact, they are the original recordings of our own
classmates, the "Regenaires"!
I am really impressed by their talent!

Interpreting musically the finest
in expressive sounds was Reseda's dance band, the
"Regenaires". With several television appearances on
"Spotlight on Youth" to their credit, these Regenaires
continued to draw applause at campus dances, outside dances,
and at assemblies and concerts.
With Jim Peck, the student director, and Mr. Gagliardi, the
faculty director, the "Regenaires" worked for fun,
vocational training, experience and money. Auditions for
membership were held and only the very select musicians were
chosen.
The members felt the opportunities for individuality in
music were one of the finest exponents of Reseda's dance
band. |
