Bruce tells us, “Finally finished the second album and uploaded it just now, ‘Cadet Choir and Glee Club 1962-63.’ This ’62-’63 Glee Club [vinyl] recording wasn’t particularly well cared for by the person I got it from on E-Bay. Fortunately the software worked it’s magic in removing the worst of the pops and scratches. I cleaned up the album covers and retouched up some text on the backside.“

It’s thanks to Bruce and all of our contibutors for providing musical memories to share with our fellow alumni and anyone else who may have an interest. I appreciate you all.
Since there’s no more music to add to the site, I thought I’d start adding playlists of the stuff to which I like to listen. What follows is a playlist of my favorite marches (not to be confused with My Favorite Martian,) and Colan Breugnon.
I’m almost embarassed to say that I use this playlist when I am doing cardio, so I haven’t listened to it in a long time since I’ve not exercised in a long time.
If you have a favorite playlist, feel free to send a list of the cuts to me and I’ll post it here. BandSir.com@gmail.com is the address to use.
Thanks so much to those of you listening to the collection of music here on BandSir.com!
A while back, I received this email from Erik Ronningen, ’64 & ‘66JC, recommending that BandSir add a category of records by academic year. I thought this was a great idea and so as of now, you’ll see the additional main menu item titled “Concert Band Records – by Academic Year.” It is right next to the alphabetical list of concert records which has been labeled as such.
One of the things that has made the identification of the years in which the records were recorded is that there is no indication of the year it was recordrd on the albums or the sleeves. Erik was kind enough to identify some of the record albums, as he has a number of them in his possession. However, there are still quite a few albums the dates of which are unknown.
Here’s where I need your help.
If you can definitively identify the year of any of the albums missing dates — concert band or dance band — please send me an email to BandSir.com@gmail.com with the information and I’ll add the academic year to the list.
Thanks again for your support and special thanks to Erik Ronningen for his idea. I appreciate it greatly.
