I'm still working on how to upload the audio of the ET Band recordings, so this may not be perfect, but at least it'll get me started. My plan is to upload the audio as links to mp3 files on a weblog post that provides some background and, hopefully pictures.
The first batch of recordings are from the 1983 edition of the ETSU marching band. They were made at the postgame of the ETSU v. Abilene Christian University game which the old Ken's mug (remember those?) says happened on October 22, 1983. The ACU band came up and did a halftime show, and we reciprocated not with our regular show but with a two week special of West Side Story in costume (jeans and t-shirts) shown to the right (I have more photos of that night but they're off being scanned). But the postgame was something special. We alternated pieces with ACU, and the attached are mp3s of some of the pieces - I'll upload more as I get a chance.
The second recording is from the video of the exhibition at Cleburne.
