50th Reunion Photos

Our 50th Reunion was a huge success. We had 141 paid registrations and a full room at Maggianos. The food and music were fantastic. People had a great time. By far our best reunion. We will keep the information on this page on our website for a while longer as a way to remember all that took place.

A fantastic Maggianos multi-course buffet dinner, with music and perhaps a few surprises. A great venue that mixes class with comfort.

Cash Bar available.

Special dietary requirements honored.

Coffee, Iced Tea & Soda included.

Tysons Galleria

Our Saturday night Reunion really is “The Main Event”. While there are several activities over the reunion weekend, most of our classmates only come to the Saturday night gathering. This is your best chance to reconnect with people.

Performing at “The Main Event”

Gary Smallwood

A musical legend in Loudoun County, Gary is known for his faithful renditions of 60’s and 70’s music. He has played alongside such acts as Robin Trower, Molly Hatchet, Marshall Tucker Band, The Outlaws, Bret Michaels, and Michael Fath. Gary is a full-time musician, playing over 200 shows a year. We are honored to have him play at our reunion.

Lynn & Julia Kasdorf

Julia has been performing around Northern Virginia for many years, doing covers and writing her own music. Lynn, our 1973 classmate, performs often with Julia, as well as other bands. Lynn plays a number of instruments but is known as one of the finest pedal steel guitar players in the region. Lynn and Julia will perform at the ‘Main Event’ as a duo as well as doing some tunes with Gary Smallwood.

GCM graduates from other classes are welcome to attend all of our reunion activities.
