Welp, I did it again. Colonel Dave Haught sent me this video ages ago and it dropped off my radar. Dave, sorry it took so long, but here it is. Thank you so much for your contribution to the Band and to the site.

This is amazing. I sure do remember the step off into the GG e arena and the powerful sound we produced. Thank you both so much for the opportunity to remember and share with my family. Band Sir!!
Wow! I graduated in 76, but I’m sure I knew some of these cadets. Remarkable drill and music!
We were the best of the Corps.
Thanks, Dave and Dan, for preserving this bit of our heritage!
Just great!! Great to hear Post Horn Gallop. Many memories!!
Thank you COL Haught for this tape and thank you COL Wolfe for placing this on the site for all!!! Band all the way Sir!!!
Courage—Honor-/Conquer
Astonishing. What an invaluable video AND audio (oh so rare—nonexistent) addition to Bandsir.com. First, as late as 1979, the Band was still at strength 35, to thrill the crowd with drill and musicianship; we performed with 55 Bandsmen in Octobers of ‘67, ‘68, and ‘69; and these 35 proudly distinguished themselves and the VF Band with pride. The audio of the band performing the ‘69 show is available in the Bandsir selection “On the March—Harrisburg Horse Show.” We all loved Duke, but this video-audio shows
there were VF Bandmasters and extraordinary young players who carried on the proud VF Band tradition. Should never be forgotten.
Wow. This brings back a flood of memories for me. I graduated JC in ’77 so I’m sure I knew most of these cadets. Great Job by all. Thank you Col. Haught for sharing and a big thank you to Dan for sharing it with us here. I sent it to my brothers and sisters to appreciate as they watched many performances and reviews at VFMA back in ‘75-‘77

77’ JC
WOW !! That was mesmerizing. Does it get much better than that ? Makes me wonder how my years (’71 – ’74) compared. Great British style Drum Major !! Everyone of those Bandsmen should be extremely proud of themselves. Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding! The Band made us stand taller in formation. Always made The Corps proud.
Battery ‘59:’63
Nice job, guys. Good old Harrisburg. As plebes we were petrified of making a mistake!
Fantastic! I’m the lone clarinet player behind the tuba.
