"How the Tronics got started?.....Well, to the best of my recollection...." |
|
 |
"....One day in English Class, Mr. Maeda informed his students that a talent show was being organized by the Student Government........" |
|
 |
"...He asked for volunteers from his 6th period class....and that anyone who participated would receive extra credit for their English grade...." |
|
 |
"....We could sing, recite poetry, dance, pantomime, tell jokes, do a skit, etc.....individually or in groups......" |
|
 |
"...All members of the band were sitting (hiding)in the back row of Mr. Maeda`s English Class....happily realizing that an extra credit was what the doctor ordered...." |
|
 |
"......The rest is HISTORY! Believe It or Not! PS...We all passed English Class that year (1964)! Whew!" [Renard Saiki]
|
|
 |
"Richard had the foresight and decided to support the group behind the scenes and assist with the management and production. He started his management career early....." |
|

Can you believe this style of dancing was "cool" in the `60s? |
