It's hard to believe that it's been 40 years since a young priest
came to St. Andrew's parish in Bayonne & established a local youth
program. St. Andrew's Bridgemen CYO Drum & Bugle Corps would soon
grow beyond the parish boundaries attracting members from
surrounding towns, bordering states; and then as the hypin' Bayonne
Bridgemen, from across the country. The corps' history,
achievements & appeal over our 23 year span is amazing; as is the
group's successful re-emergence as an alumni corps in 2005.

We hope you can celebrate the Bridgemen's 40th Anniversary with
other alumni & friends at our Reunion Gala to be held on Saturday,
October 8th from 6:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. at St. Andrew's School in
Bayonne.

Gala tickets are $40.00 each and include a catered buffet,
beer/wine/soda, DJ music, Anniversary favors, "thru-the-years"
memorabilia, and a performance by the newly formed Bridgemen Alumni
Mini-Corps. The only thing that could make the evening more special
is YOU!!!!

Tickets may be purchased by mail. Make checks payable to the
Bridgemen Alumni Association. The mailing address is:
