IN MEMORIAM ALUMNI… (by class year)
Cadence Of Connection Blue Jay band alumni from 1948 to 2016 returned to Carrollton and Banks in August for a spirited Blue Jay Band Homecoming. Nearly 50 Blue Jay alumni and their families connected with each other and to today’s program—the Blue Jay bandsmen of 2017. The event began with Mass in the Chapel of the North American Martyrs celebrated by Jesuit president Fr. Anthony McGinn, S.J., who welcomed the music makers, past and present, and thanked them and their families for their work at events and competitions that enhanced and continue to enhance life at Jesuit. Mass ended with the playing of the Alma Mater by the Alumni Band, conducted by current band director Joe Caluda ’79, whose father Marion Caluda led the Jesuit band from 1964 to 1978. Assistant band director and leader of the Blue Jay Jazz Band, Jason Giaccone, also enjoyed welcoming his former students. At a festive reception in the Student Commons, the Jays of today and yesteryear shared stories of memorable band performances. A special treat was the appearance of former band directors Karl Hymel, B.J. Perez, and Brenda Castillo. All enjoyed refreshments and jambalaya compliments of Jesuit’s advancement office and gumbo and red beans and rice, a generous donation of Copeland’s Restaurant. Coordinated by band booster leaders Roger Jordan and Doug Schof, band parents assisted with food prep and service. After presentations in the Commons, the afternoon of connection concluded with a well-received mini concert in the Jesuit auditorium.
