Dan’s Favorite Marches

Band Sir! Posted on February 14, 2025 by Dan WolfeFebruary 14, 2025

Since there’s no more music to add to the site, I thought I’d start adding playlists of the stuff to which I like to listen. What follows is a playlist of my favorite marches (not to be confused with My Favorite Martian,) and Colan Breugnon. I’m almost embarassed to say that I use this playlist when I am doing cardio, so I haven’t listened to it in a long time since I’ve not exercised in a long time. If you have a favorite playlist, feel free to send a list of the cuts to me and I’ll post it here. … Get your chin in and keep reading…

BandSir Needs Your Help

Band Sir! Posted on September 1, 2024 by Dan WolfeSeptember 1, 2024

Thanks so much to those of you listening to the collection of music here on BandSir.com! A while back, I received this email from Erik Ronningen, ’64 & ‘66JC, recommending that BandSir add a category of records by academic year.  I thought this was a great idea and so as of now, you’ll see the additional main menu item titled “Concert Band Records – by Academic Year.” It is right next to the alphabetical list of concert records which has been labeled as such. One of the things that has made the identification of the years in which the records were … Get your chin in and keep reading…

New Content Added: BandSir Scrapbook!

Band Sir! Posted on February 3, 2024 by Dan WolfeFebruary 3, 2024

I’ve created another main menu item called “Scrapbook.” This menu will contain video and photo records of the VFMA Band as provided by you. I moved Jeff Christopher’s home movies to this category, and I’m delighted to add more home movies from Dan Witter. If you have movies or photos that you might like to add to the scrapbook, please drop me an email at BandSir.com@gmail.com and I’ll (eventually) get them posted. Be well and stay safe out there! Dan

  • 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

    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!

  • Comment on New Record Added – “Then And Now – Volume 2” by Jeff Yannello September 22, 2025
    I liked Colonel Jayne’s. I played for him on alumni weekends. I played the Tenor and Bari saxes a few times and the trombone in a few more of them. Feltham accepted me in 9th grade on the trombone. However, that didn’t materialize on the home front.. Derby accepted me on the Bari sax and […]

  • Comment on Valley Forge Regimental Band by Dick Buxbaum 56 Band September 20, 2025
    At the news of VF closing the Academy , and with JC in doubt, as a former Bandie from 52-56 in the Academy I was arguably the youngest to have been accepted at least until then. I was privileged to play under DK Feltham for all my time at VF; including a couple years prior […]
