New Concert Added!
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!

Why are there no concerts for the 1960 -1964 records?
Good day! The reason there are none for that era is that I don’t have access to any of the recordings from that era. I was there from 71-76, and my recordings have been supplemented by other alumni who sent either digital files or vinyl. I’d be happy to add them if I had them.
Be well!

Capt Ron Youngs (and Dan Wolfe) are the only reasons recordings of the Feltham-era are documented. I remember Ron going to incredible tech-detail to prepare for Thomas Hall recordings (and why his recordings are better than vinyl). It’s unfortunate if other vinyl recordings are not included in Bandsir.com. For example, I recall a VF vinyl recording of ex-Marine band soloist (VF college grad ’68) Tim Erdman playing an impossibly difficult solo, but no one has yet provided a digital file that Dan Wolfe can upload.
From time to time records from earlier years come up on ebay and I purchased a couple. One titled Star Spangled Spectacular with T. Detwiler listed as a bugler, and one titled To the Men of Valley Forge that has a recording of a Pass in Review on one side. I’ve attempted to contact Dan a couple of times this year without success. I know he was in the process of moving back to Ohio, so….
I agree with Mrs Leader concerning the earlier years. I have tried to get info and copies of the Faltham era. I was a 60’s JC and some of the concerts were just fabulous.
