Marched with the Reveries from 1965 through 1967. Loved every minute of it. Most "Revered" memory is sitting on the starting line at Roosevelt Stadium in NJ during the 1966 VFW Nationals. - John "Max" Maxner , Tue, 22 Jan 2013 8:30AM
AS one of only two non-Catholic members I cherish the many wonderful memories of marching with the Reveries - especially when they showed up on our wedding day to perform a concert outside the church - a surprise arranged by the man himself, George Bonfiglio - Ronald K.

Almost joining the Corp in 1971 after many years in a CYO Band, only to run into "release" problems, my dream of marching in Drum Corp came true in 1974 with the IC Reveries. The Delorey's thankfully, never gave up on me. You all were terrific...it is amazing how real it all still seems. Still in a Drum Corp state of mind! Love the memory lane photo's! - Joey Dalessio, Fri, 22 Dec 2006 5:19PM

I had the time of my life. thanks for the memories it seems like it was just yesterday. row on - cllyde Jordan, Sun, 20 Feb 2005 9:08AM
Mr Reilly was nothing less to me than the Father I never had. His instruction and warmth gave me a safe haven wherein which to grow and experiment. There was never any doubt that he loved all of us and believed in us even though he was a very good disciplinarian and instructor, who maintained a standard of excellence. I can not imagine what my life would have been like without his gentleness and sense of humor. I thank God for role models such as Mr and Mrs. Reilly who have dedicated their time and attention to so many young people over the years. His memory will continue to inspire me to give all of who I am in the same unselfish manner. Grace and peace for all those he leaves behind. Cynthia - Cyndi (Anderson) Samuel, Fri, 31 Dec 2004 2:35PM
Arthur Reilly gave me my start in instructing...I will forever be greatful to all the help he gave me...He was always my friend....My prayers are with this wonderful family... - Donn Ebert, Thu, 30 Dec 2004 2:51AM

177 TURN AROUND CRUISE 1971 Sharky and Slushy aboard the USS Constitution. The Comandant of the First Naval District used the Constitution as his flag ship. During the turn around cruises, the Admeral passed out personal invitations. The corps was alloted two, just this one time. Slushy was specifically named and he was allowed to bring a guest. We had a drawing and Sharkey won. Slushy still has the invitation and a large full color certificate naming him as a crew member for that specific cruise. Even today, being aboard during a turnaround cruise is a special honor.
178 1971 USS CONTIUTION TURNAROUND Sharky and Slushie got to go on a cruise. It was and still is an national honor to sail aboard the USS Constitution.
179 1971 TICKET This was our annual show that alternated year to year from CYO to Eastern Mass. It was always on a Wednesday night and was one of the very few week night shows for either circuit. We sold many tickets in advance of the show.

274 1973 SPRING CAMP Sure, the Iron Mountain House was 80 years past it's prime, the practice field looked more like a used mine field and the bull was not happy but hey, Spring camp was as much for charactor building as it was for show building.

282 1973 AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL OPEN I think we look good here. In my opinion the small size of the corps hurt us in the Open Class. That never stopped us from doing our best.

284 1973 BUTLER PA The Anzuoni family own a number of bus lines including Plymouth and Brocton, Brush Hill Tours and McGinn Tours. It all started with Service Bus lines in Revere in the 1920's. They were always very good to their home town Reveries. The corps name was on all their bus roll signs so whenever we used an Anzuoni bus, the corps would arrive in style with the corps name on the roll sign.

As you look at the crime scene photos you can see the fire started in three seperate locations, all of which just happened to be the three storage areas for the corps equipment. We were lucky that our equipment truck didn't burn and that many of the other items we needed on the field were safe at home with the members.
