Band alumni have been unearthing a range of Band recordings from decades past: Jazz Band tapes from the ’70s, Concert Band tapes from the ’60s, even a couple of 78 RPM records cut in 1933 by the (ahem) Columbia University Symphonic Band. The prize finds so far are tapes of two Carnegie Hall joint concerts: one with Lehigh’s band in 1963, one with Harvard’s in 1965. For alums of the sixties, we plan to release those two as CD sets, with souvenir brochures containing programs, notes, photos and – yes – lists of the performers, so you can prove to your kids and grandkids that you were there. Watch this space.
