I’ve never used this site for any kind of public service announcement, but these are indeed difficult times.
First and foremost, nearly everyone reading this post is in the high-risk group if only because of the dates of our births. Many of us have health issues, some minor, others not so minor. Bottom line: this pandemic has the potential to take a lot of us if we’re not careful.
I urge you to abide by the guidelines put out by the CDC. While we can’t yet quantify it, social distancing seems to be doing some good. So please do your part. Do the right thing even if you think it’s a crock. Lives depend on us doing our best.
But the real reason I am making this post is to wish all of you and yours a safe, land-mine/free journey to the other side of this pandemic. It’s always hard enough when The Forge announces Taps for our fellow alumni. Please don’t let it be one of you.
Be safe out there.
Dan Wolfe, 74 & 76JC
Band, Sir!
Many thanks to Dr. Rick Forno, ’90 & ’92C, not a Bandie, but a great supporter of the Band for as long as I can remember. He provided this long video of a 1991 Thanksgiving Tattoo. Click here or on the graphic to go to the full description of this event!
Thanks again to Bruce Daggett for these tracks. Click here or on the graphic to the right to go to the playlist.
These are recordings from a few different 3rd mess formations which include, retreat, hymns, the National Anthem and marches. You can hear the regimental commander calling the corps to attention and present arms if you listen carefully.
I did some noise removal and other minor edits to the files so that these details were easier to hear and more consistent in volume.
Enjoy!
