Making Beautiful Music:
"One of the 10 best albums of the year." That is what Rolling Stone Magazine had to say about class of '95 graduate, Bill Ricchini's 2002 music album, "Ordinary Times," which he produced in is bedroom. Rolling Stone's evaluation, plus other rave reviews, has led to a three-year record deal and his own professional website, www.billricchini.com. Rocco DeCicco, another '95 graduate, played bass guitar on at least one of the songs from "Ordinary Times."

Radio Head:
Rocco DeCicco, class of '95, received an email the other day that may have changed his life. His friend was listening to the popular radio station, 88.5 WXPN, when he heard the Mia Johnson Band playing through his speakers. What is so special about this? DeCicco is the guitarist in that band. So take note, because you may be hearing about DeCicco and the MIA Johnson Band in the future.

Shooting for a Triple Play
Roger Hoyle, class of '99, has had his film, Andante Cantabile, accepted into the Novare Cine Festival in Novara, Italy, the Syracuse International Film and Video Festival in Syracuse, New York, and the 28th Annual Cleveland International Film Festival in Cleveland, Ohio.
