Sy Pollack was born and raised in New York, where he studied piano for 14 years, mostly at the Third Street Settlement music school. When he discovered that he could get paid to play, he worked in combos throughout his college years, including several summers in the Catskill Mountains. Besides the usual array of weddings, dances, parties and Bar Mitzvahs, Sy holds the dubious distinction of having played at a divorce. While living in Cincinnati, Sy studied the trombone so he could join a concert band. That didn't happen till he moved to St. Louis, where Dan Presgrave let him play in his Monday night adult concert band. Sy also played in the UCity Summer Band during its early years and, more recently, in the O'Fallon (MO) community band. What made all this possible was a great day job as Professor of Computer Science at Washington University. (The march just happened.)

Delmar Garden March by Ernesto Natiello (1909) arranged by Joseph Pappas (2009)
Historical Background
“(In 1901) a new racetrack and an amusement park just across the city line brought a lot of city folk out west. The racetrack straddled the boundary between the country and the city on the north side of Delmar. The entrances to the grounds, or gates, were the source of the names of two streets. Delmar Gardens, at the loop of the Delmar line, was one of several amusement parks or resorts at the ends of the street car lines....Delmar Gardens boasted of “magnificent theaters presenting star performers in opera, dram and vaudeville.” The park had a variety of restaurants where a visitor could even get caviar...A series of wet summers around World War I and changing tastes, forced the closing of most of the street car line amusement parks including Delmar Gardens.” From Legacy of Lions, A History of University City, 1981, Historical society of University City, St. Louis, MO. The race track itself closed down after 1905 because of a crackdown on gambling.

“Delmar Gardens (Amusement Park) was located along Delmar Boulevard between Kingsland and Skinker. Built before the St. Louis World's Fair, it was a popular entertainment spot until 1911. In addition to the scenic railroad, it had a large merry-go-round, music halls, beer gardens, band pavilions, picnic areas, theaters and a nearby race track. The entrance and exit to the Gardens gave their names to the present Eastgate and Westgate Avenues.” From A University City Album, The Citizens Committee for the Seventy-Fifth Anniversary, 1981.

About the Arrangement.... This arrangement was created for the University City, Missouri, Community Band and it's conductor, Mr. Thomas Poshak. Even though there is speculation that the piece was originally arranged for concert band, a copy has not been found. The piano score, typical of the two-step or ragtime march was used in the arrangement. The integrity of the piece was preserved and added instrumentation and stylistic writing was added to keep it in the style of the period. The piece should be played as fast as the performers can handle cleanly. Attention to articulation and dynamics are important. Be careful not to overemphasize the syncopation, it should be done with a light feel on the sixteenths and a slight accent on the eighth note. In the TRIO, the upper octaves in the flutes and clarinet are preferred.

Casey Geisz, Guest Conductor, is a graduate of the University of Missouri-St.Louis with both a Bachelors and a Masters degree. He studied conducting with Dr. Ronald Arnatt and Dr. Warren Bellis. Casey taught in the University City School District from 1977-1985 where he worked with some notable students who went on to successful musical careers: Wayne du Maine, Todd Williams and Jeremy Davenport. Until he retired Casey worked with students in the Brentwood School District teaching instrumental music for grades 4-12. He enjoys his retirement with a number of sporting hobbies and by playing with the St. Louis Wind Symphony and with the University City Summer Band.
