May 30, 1983 Westminster High School Owl Marching Band (Band II).
Memorial Day Parade in Westminster, MD (Audio Only). James Paxton - Director.
Photos: Leaving staging area (2), Percussion section (1), Me (James Wootton) after the parade (1)
Recorded by Richard Taylor (far left in the last photo).
Converted from 25 year old cassette tape to digital MP3 by James Wootton ('79-'83), Drum Captain 1982-1983.
The recording is heavy on the percussion. This song is actually played twice in a row.
The sound quality is degraded slightly due to the video compression. The MP3 sounds better.
I never heard this song as a march. I was introduced to it through Sacred Harp/Shape Note singing with the 2nd set of lyrics. I totally love both. Thanks for posting.
