VFMA Home Movies from Jeff Christopher

Band Sir! Posted on May 11, 2023 by Dan WolfeMay 11, 2023 4

As you may know, Jeff Christopher, ‘72 JC, recently contributed the Dance Band album “In The Mood” to BandSir.com. He asked me if I wanted to post some home movies of the band from his years at VFMA.

Well, who doesn’t love a parade, am I right?

Below are Jeff’s three videos. While there’s no sound on these films, it’s great to see the band from those days!

Thanks so much, Jeff, for bringing these to the site. I, for one, appreciate it greatly. Make sure to leave a comment on these great images!

Dan


From Jeff:

Here are details for each video:

Video 1:
– Herald trumpets with Colonel Feltham conducting.
– John Scheneman (drummer) & me with my Euphonium in front of Von Steuben Hall
– Parade Field (my JC Freshman/Plebe year [1970-71], with Mike Brooks as Drum Major)


Video 2:
– Parade Field (my JC Sophomore year [1971-72] with Greg Ream as Drum Major)
– Field Music on Parade
– Band and Field Music doing Slow March


Video 3:
– Bill Kerchner dragging his luggage out of Von Steuben Hall and me acting goofy.
– Me accepting my associate degree.
– After graduation and back in civilian clothes, finally!


Dan,

While my father was no Steven Spielberg, I am sure glad he took these videos!

Hope you, and others, enjoy.

Jeff Christopher
‘72 JC

We’re Back. Maybe.

Band Sir! Posted on April 5, 2023 by Dan WolfeApril 5, 2023 6

Our Internet service was just restored and the site is up and running again.

However…

… we have more severe weather on the way and this may not last. I’ll do my best to keep you informed through Facebook, if we are down again.

Here’s what happened. In the severe weather on April Fools’ Day, a big tree in our backyard toppled over and took out power, phone, and Internet/Cable TV lines. In the photo, if you look closely, you can see the wires that were pulled down when the tree fell.

While power came back late Monday afternoon, our Internet was restored around lunchtime today.

Buried Treasure: Read the Comments

Band Sir! Posted on March 11, 2023 by Dan WolfeMarch 11, 2023 14

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. A couple of weeks ago, I was doing some … Get your chin in and keep reading…
