National Enquirer 1/6/76
The UCLA Band makes the National Inquirer front page! Frank Sinatra’s surprise 60 birthday party in Bel Air in early January, 1976. Our drum major was famed actor/dancer Gene Kelly. About 25 of us marched in and played Happy Birthday. Sinatra later got in a fight that made all the tabloids. We couldn’t see much except for a flood of bright lights from so many paparazzi.
