Steve - Michael and I had so much fun going down memory lane this dreary afternoon.  It was great seeing pictures of the old Reveries.  I have memories of several of you coming to our house in Saugus for one of Michael and Marla's parties (ok and Eddie DeAngelis had something to do with them too).  Ahhhh the good old days.....thanks for sharing!  Love to Cheryl!!

Thanks for the memories Steve.  It was a great trip.  I will always remember those years fondly.  As a bonus, I found my dad, long deceased now, in picture 182 of the Statesmen Jr.  He's the one wearing the jacket.  Thanks again.

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!

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

1967 DRUMFEST
Drumfest was an indoor standstill held before the start of the field season.  It was held at the old Boston Arena and was a judged show.  It could set the tone for the following season.  Here the Reveries senior corps is featured. This would be the last season for the seniors.  The next year they would appear as the 27th Lancers.
