I too marched with my school band (Silver Creek, San Jose, CA) in the Macy's Parade in 1970! Wish I had a video!

White people don't rule the cities anymore lol. You guys should never have left.

Beautiful piece of NYC history, thank you for sharing!

I saw it also and flipped out! We had rented the movie so I was able to rewind it and show my husband - LOOK! That's the Wranglerettes! "The WHAT?" he said. hahahah!!! Too funny!

I saw that too! Came up out of my chair. My wife thought I was nuts until I showed her this video. Thanks for keeping me out of the funny farm for a little while longer!

You guys are the greatest!! Thanks for your respect and eagerness to perform at your best. I would love to hear from you and learn of your accomplishments. John Hammerle, director of the Westchester Bands, 1968-1973.

Did anyone see the Wranglerettes in the film American Gangster? Interesting footage in that it captures the shooters penchant for enshrining the prettiest girls and the most popular boys. Ah, but isn't that what high school was all about?
Also, note that the Twin Towers were actually being built during this time period.

Killer video and the memories it brings back make me smile. The early 70's at Westchester were truly great times (Class of '73) and I wouldn't trade them for anything. We were somewhat sheltered from world events due to our ages but that was still a time of awakening for all generations. Plus the music was just plain awesome and it still holds up extremely well. Damned glad to have been a part of that time!

Although I was not in New York with you, this video made me feel as if I were. The clothes and hair!! Thanks for this trip down memory lane. Those days of love, rock and roll, peace demonstrations, endless cruising up and down Memorial Drive in search of anything exciting going on. Nice to have this video to bring back some these thoughts of life at Westchester High in the late 60's and early 70's.
