You have some history to teach us ... my pen and pad is ready .....
Here is a Quick summary.
I marched in that St Patrick's day parade in NY, and I remember it to this day.
Dom Bianculli was our drill Sargent, motivator, and mentor.

The St. William's band once dominated the Catholic Youth Organization music scene, revered as circuit and festival champions over and over from the '50s through the early 1970s. They played Fenway Park and New York City's St. Patrick's Day parade, and were dubbed "The Best Band in the Land" by the local press.
That era is over. The band's longtime director, Dominic "Dom" Bianculli, known to those who attended his band practice six days a week during their youth as the father of Savin Hill, retired in 1973 and died in 1980. The band fizzled out in 1982.
