I feel like there was an article in Seventeen Magazine (yeah, I know) on this very topic. It was almost a surprise expose as I recall. I think it came out sometime between 1994-1998. Does anyone have access to it? Mak emi 23:17, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
RFC: Is it proper to include an external link to a site if it is the website for a PHS organisation or club? My suggestion is yes, given that that band page has been there for a long time. But inertia is not a satisfactory argument in and of itself. What is the consensus out there? - DG.
I notice there's a few reverts on some external link recently. This already happened seperately months ago. The (weak, if any) consensus would seem to be to keep them. Please don't flip them back and forth if you feel differently, but discuss it here. This talk page section has been up for months and no one has been interested enough to opine otherwise. Yes, the so-called "consensus" I cite is basically me asking a question and Alansohn responding that maybe, perhaps, if the site is standalone, it might be more worthy of inclusion than otherwise. My point is that if there's any disagreement, discussion is more effective than backandforth reverting, and if you're not willing to use the Talk: namespace at all then that is your loss and it's not really fair for you to expect to be able to keep mucking about.

It is written on the main page that Joseph Downey (the current Jazz Band director) is Anthony Biancosino's brother. Anthony Biancosino had a (biologically related) brother named Joseph Biancosino who often subbed and directed the pit orchastras for musicals at PHS in the late 1980s. Is Joseph Downey the same man, with a name change? Or is Joseph Downey actually Anthony Biancosino's brother-in-law (or ex-brother-in-law) or some other relation? One glance at the man himself should reveal the answer as Joseph Biancosino resembled his older brother Anthony quite a bit physically (and in temperment and teaching style too).
Joseph Downey is the brother of Anthony Biancasino. Downey took the name of his former wife upon marrying her. He did this so as not to be "perescuted" at irish jig dancing competitions. He claims to have bee one of the most highly ranked jig dancers in the country until knee surgery in 2002-3. It is interesting to note that the surgery performed was that of the "taller" surgery. One of Downey's favorite activites is a mandatory jig lesson on Sain Patrick's Day in which he has students do ad-hoc performances for school administrators and support staff.
The text that has been inserted for the supposed connection identifies explicitly as "a great deal of speculation". All that we have is an editor or two speculating. While it might be true, without reliable and verifiable sources to document the connection -- or even to document that there has been speculation -- this will be removed. Alansohn

We list notable alumni (meaning they have an English Wikipedia article to show their notability) with sourced evidence of attendance. It's not a place to list your classmates with such dubious claims to fame as "spent a night in jail" or "ate 10 McChickens in one sitting". Meters ( talk) 06:13, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
