Talk in another thread about Rockmom trying to get Duece to head Trinity's way...(It was a joke...not recruiting...settle down!) got me thinking about Trinity's Rock band.

 

Way back in the 80's Trinity had a group of student's who would bring their electric guitars to football games and rock out on VanHalen, ACDC, and of course Queen. One of my grade school friends was in this. They were awesome!

 

What's the word on these guys?

Let's talk about those St. X rockers.... The Monarchs! Now there's some music for the heart..... Look homeward angel.....!

HEY!!! What do you mean "of course Queen"? What are you trying to say about Trinity students???? :irked: :lol:

 

Just kidding

 

You will have to excuse my ignorance of band terminology but Trinity does not have a band, it is a drum corps (I think that is the term). So they obviously don't play actual songs, rather drum beats (again I know I am using the wrong terms).

 

Hey Duece, help me out here. You saw/heard Trinity's drum corps, you explain it You're in UofL's band, you should know the terminology.

Sounds like a good time back in your day.

I was there in the 80's and the rock band was pretty cool , I can't remember the teachers name who was in charge but he is the one who made it work. Thanks for bringing back those memories

If I remember correctly the teacher in question was Winston Hardy. The band would also come to the home basketball games and play during timeouts and at halftime. They even reportedly cut a record (or CD, I don't remember which).

 

Also, supposedly Winston Hardy had something to do with Janis Joplin's old band, Big Brother and The Holding Company, back in the day before he came to Trinity. Seems like he filled in with the group once in a while when someone couldn't make it (or had a problem with an upper level disturbance...).

We will Rock You.....Queen

Mr. Dubay.....St. Ignatius grad...tremendous man..

I must be suffering a brain infarction. I cannot remember a rock band at Trinity football games in the 1980's. Did they ever play at basketball games? DeSales has had a rock band perform for several years at basketball games, playing a lot of 60's and 70's hits. They have a relatively small gym, and when the band is rockin' the atmosphere is frenetic! I wish more schools had this type of setup. I wonder if Trinity would consider a reprisal of that tradition. They have had good teams with their current coach, and with a loud band their fans may blow the roof off the building.

Yes there was a rock band. The above posters are correct. Mr. Hardy had them cranking out Hendrix, Led Zep etc. I believe other schools complained because it was very loud. Electric guitars with amps in the stands, you gotta love it!! It was jammin'.

I know, it was a joke. That is why I had the smiley face next to the smirk.

That is probably more dependent on there are students able to play the instruments and someone willing to sing more so than the administration.
