Not Marches: Tracks I Like

Band Sir! Posted on by

Back in this post, I listed some of my favorite marches that are on the site. I got a lot of positive feedback on the playlist idea and so I thought I’d do it again. While there are no marches on this list, there’s a lot of great music and these are some of my go-to’s that I click on when I am looking for someting nostalgic and fun. Send your favorite playlist that you’d like to share and I’ll post it along with any notes you’d like to make. Email address is BandSir.com@gmail.com. Enjoy!

A couple of years back, I had to replace the audio player on the site because the company that owned the original one went out of business. I switched to AudioIgniter Plus. I assumed that it had a similar download feature. I was wrong. After learning that you couldn’t download individual tracks, I have fixed it so that you can download any one of over 400 individual tracks on the site!

Check out “Cadet Choir and Glee Club 1962-63”, another VFMA music Record that’s been added to BandSir.com! Many thanks to Bruce Daggett, 67, 69 JC, for providing the digital files. Bruce tells us, “Finally finished the second album and uploaded it just now, ‘Cadet Choir and Glee Club 1962-63.’ This ’62-’63 Glee Club [vinyl] recording wasn’t particularly well cared for by the person I got it from on E-Bay.
