I saw Bill Kear’s post on Facebook about the U.S. Marine band playing “Overture to Colas Breugnon.” I thought I’d link to the VFMA version on this website, and lo and behold, it’s NOT posted here even though the files are digitized. Shame on me!
So here you go! I don’t know the names of all the cuts, and I don’t think I’ve processed these, so they may be a tad rough. I’ll come back to these and others and make sure they’re as good as I can make ’em.
Enjoy!

The server has moved and is back online. The internet service provider does not provide the same level of service, so you may notice that the site is a bit less responsive than you’re used to. This will not change – it’s a technological limitation. Most of you won’t notice much of a change.
Thanks for your patience!

Folks,
The site is back up reliably now after a dreaded Windows 10 update broke a couple of things. It’s working fine again. Apologies for any inconvenience.
More later!

Here’s a few more photos from Bruce Daggett. I’ll let him explain.
“I had these pictures from an outing of the Band to help kick off the premier showing of The Happiest Millionaire in Philadelphia.
The movie starred Fred MacMurry and [the premiere] was held at the Boyd Theater located at 1908 Chestnut Street on October 20,1967.
Fred was known to be a sax player and the picture is of him holding my sax. I thought it was a great picture of the Duke.
As a comment, we have so much to be thankful for because of the talents of Mr. Jesse E. Hartman who took all these shots and many many others.
I don’t know if he was on retainer by the school, but Jesse was a professional photographer from Havertown, PA who always was on location at the many Forge events.
Hope you enjoy!
Band Sir!
