Personal Narrative: Garfield
I was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. I attended NYC Public School 77, JHS 127 & Alfred E Smith Technical & Vocational HS. The Glee Club under the direction of Edna Floyd was my first step in to the world of music. It was in elementary school, that I received valuable training in singing as well as music theory and history.
I marched in the drum line as a member of the New York Lancers Jr. Drum & Bugle Corps based in the Bronx where many of my instructors where themselves, public school educators.
After 3 years with the Lancers, I decided to
Audition for the Garfield Cadets, a drum corps from Garfield, NJ.
Garfield competed on a national level where the competition level was very high. We captured the world championship
