Youth Band Festival 1963
Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2010 7:18 pm
I just picked up a double LP from eBay. I am no where near a turntable, so it will probably be a month or two before I can listen to it. I will list the tracks, but there is no indication who plays what. If there are announcements on the LP, I will update this later. My GUESS is two massed band (A&B) and the Honor Band.
My first Youth Band Festival was 1971 at the Shrine. Can any of you oldtimers (I was seven when this took place) add anything?
