New Short Program from 1953

Band Sir! Posted on August 30, 2019 by Dan WolfeAugust 30, 2019

This is an audio recording of VFMA’s performance at President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s 63rd birthday in Hershey, PA. Many thanks for the recording to Gerry Fornwald, ’55, who was there! There’s a fair amount of distortion on the original, but you can get a sense of the VFMA Band and choir in 1953. Enjoy! Dan Click this link to go to the full story!

Spring 1974 Concert Posted

Band Sir! Posted on August 27, 2019 by Dan WolfeAugust 27, 2019

How I missed this, I’ll never know. In rummaging around the site today, I discovered the page for the Spring 1974 VFMA Band concert. The page listed the music on the tape, but had the words “still needs to be digitized” at the bottom. Unbeknownst to me, back when I was digitizing the original set of tapes, I had some sort of issue with the 1812 Overture track on the tape. I had set it aside with a note to myself to “find a second tape” to complete the playlist. Today, it was apparent that I never did. When I … Get your chin in and keep reading…

  • 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 […]
