| Welcome to "WHAT'S NEW". This section features the photos that are new to this website before I post them to their proper year page in the various photo sections. Due to the large number of photo pages in the various sections, I have chosen this method to provide the frequent visitor to this website one location where one can go to see all that is new. That way one doesn't have to hunt through all of the different photo pages of this website every time they visit here to find what's new. Copyright 2010. All Rights Reserved. |

| As always, I'm always looking for new photos, items and articles to post here. Please email me if you have anything that you would like to contribute to this website. I'd like to thank all those that have already contributed to this website!!! It is people like you sharing what you have that have made this website as great and as interesting as it has become. Below: These three photos of the Kilties were sent to me by Jim Anello. They were taken by his father in Green Bay, WI, in 1970 at the Wisconsin VFW State Convention parade. Thanks Jim for sharing them with us!!! |
BELOW: Kiltie Alumni Joe Fazzari emailed me the photograph below. It once again shows
that many of the children of Kiltie Alumni learn to love the drum corps activity through their
parents and follow in their footsteps. The children of these three Kiltie Jr. Corps Alumni
marched during the 2009 season with the Phantom Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps which is
located about 75 miles away from Racine, WI, in Rockford, IL. All three have indicated that
they will march with Phantom Regiment again in 2010. Ironically, these three are all named
Nick too! Left to right are: Nick Fazzari, contra (tuba), his father Joe Fazzari (Contra with the
Kiltie Kadets & Kilties during the 1970s), Nicolette Chiodo, color guard, her father Mike
Chiodo, (Snare drummer with Kilties in 1977 & 1978), Nick Taylor, snare drummer, and his
father Paul Taylor, (Color guard and drum major of the Kilties during the 1970s).

BELOW: This is a picture of Kiltie Alumni Al Hogg and his daughter that was taken a
couple of weeks ago. The outfit Al's daughter is wearing was sent to him by his
cousins in Union Grove, WI. It was purchased from an all girl pipe band that folded in
Milwaukee in the late 70's. Al marched for a number of years in the early 1970's in
the Kilties color guard and now lives out East. Al is in the top photo on this page in
the 1970 Kilties marching directly behind American Flag Ken Morrall. He has what
appears to be a white bandage on his head under his tam.

ABOVE: The latest addition to the Kiltie Junior Corps archives is this snare
drum. It is a nicely preserved and complete, except for skins, 1935 Ludwig
Junior Parade Drum with center supports, in other words a Ludwig 1935
Model No. 257 which cost $17.50 a piece new. I purchased it from the estate
of an antique dealer who lived in Franklin, WI. What made this drum so
interesting to me was that there was a note with this drum which stated that it
belonged to a Nick Matcheck who was a member of the Racine Kilties roughly
70 years ago. In checking, it appears that this is the same make and model
drum that the Kilties used until April, 1942, when they purchased a new set of
drums to replace these. Is it an original Kiltie snare drum, I can't say for sure,
but it would certainly seem so.
