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!
Two people provided me with this record, and for the life of me, I can’t find a record (pun intended!) of who sent them. Since both album covers are signed by the members of the dance band, I would like to return them. If you’re one of ’em, please let me know and I’ll return them promptly.
Click here or on the album cover to listen.
Like the annual leaf raking fiasco at the Forge, I’m cleaning up around BandSir.com over the next few days. You’ll already notice a few minor changes on the site — most of them cosmetic.
The audio player is now more attractive and the titles of the individual tracks are cleaner and easier to read. For the concerts, there’s a banner which identifies the year in which the track was performed. For the records, the album cover appears as the banner. (All the concerts are done as of this writing. I still have to clean up all the album data.)
There’s now a download button on the player so that you can download a favorite track.
A pop-out player exists so you can pop out a small separate window with just the playlist in it. It takes up less space on your desktop.
There are now social media sharing buttons on each page. If you would like to share a page, there are buttons at the top and bottom of each page which will let you share it to your favorite social media platform. If you’d like me to add a different platform than the four currently listed, let me know and I’ll add it if I can.
Lastly, I’m trying to find a better search engine that will allow you to search the site for a particular title. It sort of works now, but there’s still some refinement left in order to get it to work the way I hope it will.
I’m going to try to add more music to the site as well. I have a few more records to digitize and hopefully I can get to those in the coming weeks.
As always, if you see an error or can identify a track that’s unidentified, please drop me a note at danwolfe.us@gmail.com and I’ll fix it as soon as I am able.
Sidebar: Actually, Bill Kear had a great way to help identify the tracks, but I need to talk with him about it before going forward. Thanks, Bill!
Thanks again for your patience and for following this site! It’s always great to see new subscribers and familiar names pop up on the site.
Courage, Honor, Conquer!

Band Sir!
Thanks again to Gerry Fornwald, ’55, we have this videotape recording from 1990. It features the entirety of the 1990 Alumni Weekend Band Concert conducted in part by Col. Feltham. The whole program runs around 45 minutes long, but you can click into it at various points in the program.
