In
1984, Vaughn Pugh, himself an accomplished musician on both keyboards and
trumpet, had become the director of the Chatham Concert Band. As such, he
had access to many fine Chatham-area musicians, and in 2003 was thus able
to select several of these talented people to form the present Niteflite horn
section. The new members include Al Rathwell on trumpet, Pat Bates on trombone,
Rocco Desantis on alto sax, St. Clair Shadd on tenor sax, and John Leigh on
baritone sax. The group's playlist includes tunes by Chicago, Earth, Wind
& Fire, The Doobie Brothers, Lighthouse, Sam & Dave, Wilson Pickett, Ides
of March, The Beatles, and many, many more.
