WASSUP PAPA D

GO QUAKERS REPRESENTING MY ALMA MATER

0:11

My four siblings and I graduated Eastern starting in 1961 and ending in 1969. We sang this song, the Alma Mater, at assemblies and rallies. It was circa 2003 that my brother, Jim McManamey, was establishing a website for the graduating class of 1961. The last thing he expected was to be contacted by a student from the graduating class of 2004. The young man, I'm sorry I don't have his name, contacted Jim inquiring about the school song or alma mater. It seems that over the years the song fell out of favor and there was no one at the school who knew the tune or the words. He asked Jim if he had the sheet music. Unfortunately, Jim was neither a singer nor a musician and so the answer was, no. That might have been it but Jim contacted me and asked what I knew. I had been in the madrigal choir for all three of the years I attend Eastern, which was all Eastern offered in the 1960s. I told Jim I knew the song and would make an a cappella recording on CD and send to him (I live in Kansas and he was in Virginia at the time. When he got it, he played it on his computer at work. One of his co-workers heard it and said, that was his school's alma mater. The co-worker proceeded to tell him who wrote the music. A little research and he discovered that it was originally written for Duke University. He also found the sheet music was available. He made a purchase and sent it off to the student. A 75th anniversary celebration was planned and the band learned the song, then taught it to the student body.. The song was sung at the celebration and afterwords, the senior attendees proclaimed that they had gotten it exactly right. Ever heard of six degrees of separation? In this case it went from student, to Jim, to me, back to Jim, to his co-worker, and back to student. Technically, it involved only 4 people to bring the song back to the school. While our parts were small, we were so proud to have a part in restoring this song to Eastern. Thank you for putting this on the internet.

Ur videos are so cool Mr de rosso!! Also if u don't know this is One of ur 7th hour students (not saying my name bc yea ) But ill give a hint of who i am i sit infront of u!

This was amazing and fun to watch!

Bravo! Another stunning collaboration! You are amazingly talented!!

well done

Cool!! I love the diversity. Please, make sure the musicians know I think they have tremendous potential for the future.

That was a great job done by the current and former students and the director, of course Mauricio Der Rosso. Brought a tear to the eve of an old band and Orchestra cornet player, 57-60. under Walter Jenvey. Those cassions are still rolling along.

Great job! Thank you for this Mr. De Rosso, I appreciate you finding an awesome work around for the students.

Wow, that was great! Good job! I hope you'll all be able to get together soon.

Students you were all amazing. Thank you so much!!

Great job!

I used to be first chair.....

Nice job! Go Quakers!

Nice to see that you’re still at it!

nice lifts.

2 Years of meets, how many total years of lifting?

You sure can deadlift! Well done!

nice

Good lifting! Regarding squat depth, I found that if you are going deeper than you need to, don't fight it, use it. When I squat, I drop down into the hole as quick as I can while under control and then use the momentum to bounce out. The rebound can really help you generate some good speed coming up. As far as bench press, I feel your pain.

I think you'll be able to give hit that 405 easy in your comp man! Just don't burn yourself out prior. I've found working around and up to my 1st and maybe second attempt to be the best this close to a meet and that 500 was best mode! Great pull! Rest up and good luck in 3 weeks!

Great work man! You crushed that 479!

Don't be afraid to like my videos, lol. I don't think any of my videos have llikes yet... :(

Yay. At least you used a spotter on the second rep :P

I was at this meet and you did a great job! Your lifts came up easy and your form was great on the 3rd attempts. Congrats on doing a great job!
