I’m on a roll this weekend.  (‘Bout time, huh?) Good evening! I just finished editing, restoring and posting the VFMA Band Record Album “Spring Festival.”   Both back and front covers are included on the record’s page along with an embedded player that’ll play the entire album.  And as always should you find broken links, or errors in the program material, please email me.  I’ll do my best to fix whatever’s wrong right away. Thanks again to Bruce Daggett for the digital files! Enjoy the weekend, everyone! Dan Wolfe 74-76JC Band, Sir!
