Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - Ko Albert J. Castronovo (1937 - 1986) he kaiarahi puoro rongonui, kaiwaiata, kaiwhakaako me te kaiwhakahaere. I mōhiotia ia hei pionia i te whakamahinga o te whakareatanga me ngā pānga motuhake mō ngā kapa whakatere. I whakaarohia hoki ia he mana ki te whakamahi rorohiko mo te maatauranga puoro, ko ia tetahi o nga mea tuatahi ki te hoahoa i nga whakaaturanga roopu haereere ma te whakamahi i te rorohiko me te papa. I roto i tana mahi whakaako mo nga tau 25, ko ana roopu, koura, puoro puoro, me nga roopu jazz i whiwhi i nga tohu pai 25 i nga Whakataetae a Indiana State. I toa tana roopu haere i Chesterton High School e whitu nga whakataetae a-rohe, e wha nga whakataetae a-motu tae atu ki te 1981 Marching Bands of America Grand National Championship, a i tohua hei tetahi o nga roopu 10 ki te haere i te Perehitini Ronald Reagan's 1981 Inaugural Parade
He aha? I noho ia ki te poari tohutohu o Bands of America, ā, he kaiako aroha ia ki ana hoa mahi, ki ana ākonga hoki. He kaiako whakaaweawe ia, ko ana whakaaro i whakaahuatia te wairua o te kaupapa a Bands of America ki te hanga me te whakarato i nga wheako pai, huri ora ma te puoro. I whakaingoatia te tohu hei whakahonore i a ia i muri i tana matenga i te tau 1986.
