Buried Treasure: Read the Comments

Band Sir! Posted on March 11, 2023 by Dan WolfeMarch 11, 2023

As many of you know, I’ve been maintaining this site for a few years now, and after a time working on any project, it gets to a steady state where not a lot changes.  While the under-the-hood things have been happening, the look and the content of the site haven’t changed a lot in the last couple of years.  When a new comment needs to be moderated, I usually give it a quick scan to make sure it’s not spam, approve it, and rarely do I give it a second thought.

Well, That Was Fun…

Band Sir! Posted on August 23, 2022 by Dan WolfeAugust 23, 2022

Good morning! While the physical move of the BandSir.com server went smoothly, a thunderstorm on Sunday morning caused a short power outage. The uninterruptible power supply failed and for some reason still unknown, the database software failed. This is why this site has been offline. Fortunately, I have backups, but I had to learn how to restore the site, having never needed to restore it before. It’s back up and running again — sorta. It’s not on a secure web page yet, but I’ll add that back over the coming days. If you find a link that doesn’t work, please … Get your chin in and keep reading…

1972 WJZ-TV Christmas Concert

Band Sir! Posted on August 2, 2020 by Dan WolfeAugust 2, 2020

[Comments on this post have been turned off in favor of the linked page. When you get there, please share your memories of the event in the comments on that page.] For Christmas of 1972, WJZ television in Baltimore, Maryland invited the Valley Forge Military Academy Band to record a Christmas concert for their viewership. Please click here or on the image below to take you to the page where the video is. Thanks of course go to Ron Youngs, who had this program along with the recording of Nixon’s inaugural concert previously posted here. Dan Wolfe74-76JC
