WE HAVE MOVED! Our new home on WSO should look just like the old
one, thanks to the joys of tar files.
A universe of thanks to everyone who made it back for the Homecoming game. We rocked, and with Amherst only providing two pitiful little trumpets, our undefeated record still stands. The official news on the Cardillo Memorial Fund is that the two-thirds estimate was conservative; it has actually EXCEEDED the $25,000 goal. Go, Band!! His daughters are very grateful for our efforts and were there to watch our show on Saturday. If you want to add your contribution to the fund, see the address on the memorial page.

Happy Homecoming, everyone. I hope that
all of you who aren't making it up to march with the band will watch
us on TV. I'm being optimistic and assuming that the TV coverage
does actually include our show!
I have just been informed that the Cardillo Memorial Fund is about two-thirds of the way to the $25,000 needed to make it a permanent endowment to support the position of band director in perpetuity. This is wonderful news. Everyone who hasn't opened their pockets yet, please do so. Every little bit helps. Send your contributions to:

I just sent out an email harrassing alumni bandfolk to commit to Homecoming and informed the current
bandfolk of our numbers and plans. I hope that we'll have at least
ten members at this gathering; next time, I'll definitely use snail
mail to recruit people, but that just wasn't an option this autumn.
If you are wondering what information I have and what I need, check out the Homecoming Attendance List. That shows what I know about who's coming and/or thinking of coming. Please mail me if you wanna come!! It'll be a blast!

I have finally completed the design for the Cardillo Memorial Graphic.
The smaller version can be seen above and is in this file. The larger one is on the
"Memorial" page and can be downloaded here. Feel free to take either one and
put them on your webpage.
Don't forget to spread the word about Homecoming. I want the Homecoming Attendance List to grow!

I just sent out an email to everyone whose email I have on this page. If you have not received it, you may read it here. I have also added more
information accessible on the Members
Page, including noting people's instruments and whether or not
they were band leaders. Mail
me the information I am missing! If you are not on the Homecoming Attendance List, mail me about
that, too.

I'm still hoping to collect a group of alumni for the Homecoming
Game on November 13th in Williamstown. This
list shows the people who have told me so far that they're planning
on being there. Mail me
if you intend to come, and we'll try and get a meeting together after
the game.

I have sent a mailing to the band email list repeating an earlier proposal
for everyone to gather in Williamstown at this year's Homecoming, November
13th. This would be a great time to put a serious showing on the field,
with lots of alumni bodies belting out the tunes in memory of our
dear departed Maestro. Mail me
if you intend to come, and I'll try and organize a meeting after the game
to make us semi-official.

A mailing has gone out to all alumni asking for donations for the
Francis C. Cardillo Memorial Music and Marching Band Endowment,

Cardillo Music and Marching Band Endowment. Contributions can be mailed
to:
c/o Donor Relations Williams College P.O. Box 231 Williamstown, MA 01267 I have made a number of additions to this site and rearranged its layout, including adding the news page.

I put together this website to honor "Papa" Fran Cardillo and to help
band alumni to congregate into some sort of Alumni Association. I
intend to move this site to wso.williams.edu once we are a more
officially-organized group.
