FHS Band album

Posted by Mark Welsh on July 13, 2023, 1:00 am

Back around 1972-1973 or so, as a fund raiser, we did an album of concert band songs. It was plain looking, black and white if I remember, and had a picture of the "All-Superior" medal on the cover.

Does anyone have a copy? Maybe Lu Anne, Don Broadhead, Dr Rigby, Scott Palmer? I would love to have another copy or a copied disc as I lost mine years ago as my parents moved quite often.

Mark, I digitized that album and another one some years ago, but never got around to cleaning up the files. Here are MP3's of those albums along with a track listing and some bonus items. The original .wav files are here too in case someone wants to work with those. The entire folder is about 1.6gb. Anyone that wants it is welcome to download it. I can't promise it will be here when space gets tight.

All best,

Requested access to the Google drive, Jeff.

My bad, Mark. I didn't mean to have people request access. It should now work for anyone with the link, just click and enjoy!

Here's that link again for digital files of two different FHS band albums covering the years 1969-1978. Sorry, the first time around, google was throwing up an unintended hurdle. It should be fixed now. Just click on the link.

There are mp3 files, a track list and some bonus items. There are also original.wav files if anyone wants to clean up some of the surface noise. Enjoy!

All best,

At the 19:28 mark of the fhsband6973side2 track, the big "boom" was Marsha Ruth's dad firing a shotgun into a trashcan filled with straw. I don't know if Mississippi College ever figured out where the hole in the back of the stage came from, but I guess they didn't have enough straw in the can. I was a great affect, though!

I used to like to anticipate the boom and watch the audience practically jump out of their chairs.

Thanks again, Jeff! Got it all downloaded. Enjoyed the 1974-1978 music as I had never seen or heard that one. The pictures were great also! Found 3 pictures that I'm in that I had never seen before.
You're a scholar and a gentleman.

Wow! Thanks Jeff!!
I remember you, Jeff. You played saxophone and when we did stage band gigs, you played electric base guitar. Great to hear from you and all the people at Forest that I have terrific memories of.
Thanks again
Mark

Jeff….that is so nice of you. Bearcats are wonderful. I am rarely disappointed when someone asks for information on this site; it is usually found and shared. This makes me happy. Thank you, Jeff.

I cant remember what the album cover exactly looked like but it was similar to this:

I do remember the one you are talking about. I will have to check, I don’t think I have one.

Thanks Lu Ann! I'm betting Larry might have a copy if it can be converted to digital CD.

I'm sorry that I'm late to the show but appreciate Jeff's files so much. Let me comment that I think I recall the recording of Tulsa was not the contest recording. If I remember correctly, something happened to that recording (tape) and Doug Harvel substituted a rehearsal recording that he had made in preparation for contest. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. BTW, it was great hearing Americans We, Standard of St. George, etc. It brought back so many memories.
