John F. Reneski (1976)

Mr Sperling recruited myself and a handful of middle school band members to join the high school band in 7th and 8th grades while he was the band director and we learned haftime shows based on old style marching techniques which included 8 steps to every five yards and pinwheel turns with squads of four. We played songs live Everything is Coming up Roses, Old Winsocki, Blast Off, Confidence, and King of the Road amongst other marching tunes such as National Emblem March. In ninth grade he took over the Fine Arts Directorship as a new band director, Chucjh Smith was brought to Bensalem. Mr Sperling also conducted the pit orchestra our junior year for the spring production of Fiddler on the Roof and it was a hoot! Mr. Sperling always had  kind words to share - a very good guy!
