Former Band Director Gil Madrigale Honored with Hall of Fame Induction

We would like to send along our congratulations to Gil Madrigale who was inducted into the Massachusetts Drum Corps and Music Educators Hall of Fame last evening!

Mr. Madrigale (or “Mr. Mad” as he was affectionately known as to his students) directed the Dartmouth High School band for over 30 years, and led the group to countless honors over that time.

Under Gil Madrigale, the Dartmouth High School band appeared in marching competitions all over the country, winning many of them, including multiple wins in the NESBA, USSBA (now US Bands), MICCA, and EMBA circuits. The band also performed in the Rose Bowl Parade in 1996, as well as with the Boston Pops in a televised event.

Congratulations Mr. Madrigale for a well-deserved honor!
