Friday, April 24 2026 was a great day to be a Bandsman. The 2026 Band Reunion was held at the Desmond hotel in Malvern, PA. I had no idea what to expect from the event and I’ll admit that my expectations were a bit guarded.
I was wrong.
The turnout was outstanding! I had the opportiunity to see people I had not seen in many decades and to renew friendships thought to have been lost. What a wonderful experience! If you were there, you know.
Below is a small collection of photos in no particular order from various Band contributors. Thanks to you all for allowing BandSIr.com to post these for those who couldn’t be there. If anyone else has photos they’d like to contribute, please reach out to me and we’ll add them to the collection.
Be well, and thanks again to all in attendance who made the evening memorable and fun. And a special thanks to the organizers of the Band Reunion for making this a very special evening.
