Bennie Bartlett was not only an actor but also an accomplished musician. In fact, he was such a child prodigy on the piano that, at eight years of age, he appeared in an RKO musical, Millions in the Air (1935), playing the piano. The next year he appeared in a short for Paramount, performing a composition he had written (at the age of nine!). The studio signed him to a contract soon afterwards. Bartlett began appearing with many of Paramount's biggest stars, and became such a hot property that he was often loaned out to other studios. By the early 1940s, though, he had reached the awkward age where he couldn't play juveniles anymore but wasn't quite ready for adult roles. The problem was solved when he joined the military during the war. After his enlistment was over he resumed his acting career, and was cast as a member of the gang in the Bowery Boys comedies. He exited the series in 1955, and shortly afterwards left the film business entirely.- Jesse Crumb was born on 1 April 1968 in San Francisco, California, USA. He was married to Erica Detlefsen.

Moore taught music at Kansas Chetopa and at Hill City High Schools, before relocating to Colorado teaching at Limon High School for several years. This is where he started his first marching band under his direction, amazing everyone by winning first place in the state wide band competition. Then it was back to Kansas to teach music at Saint Francis High where his choral group won high honors. Wanting to get back to band work, he took a position teaching music at Walsenburg, Colorado.

Several trips north to Banff and the Calgary, Canada Stampede celebration where they performed before the Queen of England, and traveling as far as Washington D.C. performing at the Worlds Fair and Yankee Stadium.

The band members also played in The Ambassadors Dance Band and German Band playing polka music. Phil invented an ingenious visual teaching device device with revolving arrows that move up and down on a musical staff, which greatly aided his band members and other students to learn rhythm.
