New Program Added – Selections from Third Mess Formations

Band Sir! Posted on March 17, 2020 by Dan WolfeMarch 17, 2020

Thanks again to Bruce Daggett for these tracks. Click here or on the graphic to the right to go to the playlist. These are recordings from a few different 3rd mess formations which include, retreat, hymns, the National Anthem and marches. You can hear the regimental commander calling the corps to attention and present arms if you listen carefully. I did some noise removal and other minor edits to the files so that these details were easier to hear and more consistent in volume. Enjoy!

New Record Added – “The Way I Feel About You” (Dance Band)

Band Sir! Posted on March 5, 2020 by Dan WolfeMarch 5, 2020

Two people provided me with this record, and for the life of me, I can’t find a record (pun intended!) of who sent them.  Since both album covers are signed by the members of the dance band, I would like to return them.  If you’re one of ’em, please let me know and I’ll return them promptly.

BandSir.com Cleanup

Band Sir! Posted on February 29, 2020 by Dan WolfeFebruary 29, 2020

Like the annual leaf raking fiasco at the Forge, I’m cleaning up around BandSir.com over the next few days. You’ll already notice a few minor changes on the site — most of them cosmetic. The audio player is now more attractive and the titles of the individual tracks are cleaner and easier to read. For the concerts, there’s a banner which identifies the year in which the track was performed. For the records, the album cover appears as the banner. (All the concerts are done as of this writing. I still have to clean up all the album data.) There’s … Get your chin in and keep reading…

  • Comment on Biography of Colonel D. Keith Feltham by Richard J Buxbauim (Dick) March 19, 2025
    I had a theory and this bio confirmed it’s a possibility; I dreamed? that the Duke’s talents included violin and clarinet originally; this seems to corroborate my memory. Of course my memory is of the fine Bandmaster he was at VF and how fortunate I was to be a member of his Bands! ( a […]

  • Comment on Dan’s Favorite Marches by JEFF CHRISTOPHER March 9, 2025
    Hey Dan, hope you are doing well in Ohio. I did a little “research” and I believe Track 1 on the 1970-1971 Concert #1 is the march “Aufwarts” by Josef Gnos. Aufwarts translated from German, I believe, means “Upward”, which is the name of the March we played way back then! I remember playing it […]
