1954 Newark Armory - This photo was taken at Newark Armory in January, 1954. This was an unusual indoor winter contest sponsored by St.Joseph's Cadets of Newark. The Golden Knight horn players from left to right are Tom Sepe, Norman Jupa, Frank Dalton, Bob O'Connell, Bob Boyle, Dan Walsh. The drummers from left to right are John Grogan, Bill Sysyn, Joe Smith, Joe Porta, Ron Surdykowski, Ed Wywra, Ed Tomasula(bass drum) and John Krein (cymbals).
Notes: "We finished 2nd to Holy Name, but only by 2 points. Holy Name scored 91.35 and we received a score of 89.30. As you can see, that was the very first contest of the 54 season and Holy Name were the defending National Champs. We knew we had improved since the '53 season and this was a hint of good things to come in 1954." - Jerry Dalton.
