Many thanks to my first old man roommate, David Rodgers, ’72 and Tim Long, ’71 JC, for preserving the memory of these two drum cadences. Click on this link to open the new cadences page!

New Concert Added!

Band Sir! Posted on October 7, 2018 by Dan WolfeAugust 17, 2019

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! Dan

We’ve Moved!

Band Sir! Posted on August 17, 2018 by Dan WolfeAugust 17, 2018

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! Dan

BandSir Moving Soon!

Band Sir! Posted on August 13, 2018 by Dan WolfeAugust 13, 2018

Upon the occasion of my second retirement, BandSir.com and I will be moving back to Ohio.  While this transition won’t happen immediately, over the next few weeks, you’ll probably see the site go up and down, you may have some “site not found” errors, or it may work perfectly except for the hours it’ll take me to move the server.  In any case, I’ll try to give you advanced notice.   Once I’m finally resettled, likely sometime near Christmas, I’ll have more free time to update this lonely site that’s lacked the attention it deserves. Thanks for your patience! Dan74 & … Get your chin in and keep reading…

  • Comment on A Short History of the Fanfare Trumpets by Douglas Hill "75 JC November 2, 2025
    In reply to Hugh Johnston. Talent runs deep in DK Feltham’s many bands. Can anyone tell me if John Hoffman is the internationally renowned trumpeter or is this just a coincidence?

  • Comment on 1975-1976 Spring Concert by Jeff Yannello September 25, 2025
    In reply to Dan Witter. I would have done better playing the trombone in felthams band than sax and clarinet in derbys band

  • Comment on Record Album – “Parade And Concert – ’97” by David Shaffer September 24, 2025
    That’s a great album. I’m so glad you brought it to us! I thought the 1955 band was top notch but this compilation was so good. Thanks a million !

  • Comment on Record Album – “Parade And Concert – ’97” by Hugh Johston September 24, 2025
    Oh boy, do I remember Brooke’s Chicago! At the inaugural parade for Governor Shafer in 1967 we played that right through six or seven times. It was a cold January day in Harrisburg and that was a real bear for the clarinets. That’s a really good Seitz march, but on the march in the cold–yuck!
