The Saint Rocco‘s Cadets was a junior marching and maneuvering corps based in Brooklyn, New York. Formed in 1957 as the standstill Golden Aces, they were sponsored by St. Rocco‘s Catholic Church, the Sixth Memorial American Legion Post, and the Frank A. Longhito VFW Post.
The corps’ colors were turquoise, black and white with a silver medallion enclosing the letter R.

Known for their big band Broadway sound, the corps’ awards included the Yankee Circuit Championships for 1962 through 1964.

Despite attempts at mergers, the corps had disbanded by 1970, a victim of member recruitment into the military.

Lets do it again..

I missed the last reunion even though my office is about 10 blocks from the hall. They couldn't find me... We're not getting any younger (I am probably one of the oldest) and it would be great to see everyone again. How do we get this started? Bill Smith

Big Andy

I am the good shepherd. Big Andy was our very own good shepherd. He never gave up on us as individuals or as a team. The good lord gave him a few of his own to help too. Mike and Sue Mommalito, Sal and Mrs Gesuele, Tony and Mrs. Vendetto. Joe and Mrs Ariosa, The Galinos, Don and Art Ravert. and good old sarge. plus many more. They sacrificed so that Andys flock would become good citizens. RIP Andy. Spider.
