This. Here I am, as Drum Major of the Bel Air High School Band, Bel Air, MD, class of 1977, directed by the late great Ray Dombrowski. This was taken in the fall of 1976- that summer, we represented the state of Maryland in the Bicentennial Parade in Philadelphia, July 4, 1976. The town moved its celebration to the following day, so we could march in the town's parade.
