After 22 years of service to the 145 Army Band, SGT Wilson retires today. He has always been there to perform taps for fallen soldiers when a bugler was needed, and has been a mentor to many of our young bandsmen. Thank you, SGT Wilson!

So, last night the combo had a gig. We were to play lite background music prior to and during some dignitaries formal walk in. SGT Stanton suggested "When You Wish Upon a Star", which is fitting, considering the organization's logo. We were not through the first chorus and we get the cue from several to stop playing. Immediately one of the patrons rushes over to tell us to play processional music and proceeded to dance and sing a very good rendition of a drum cadence then told the horns, guitar, and bass to play something with that. I drew a total blank. We had nothing. Without pause SGT Ferrell says, "Andy, roll off! When You Wish Upon a Star as a march!"

Dum-dum, Dum-dum, etc., and away we went. We all agreed we need to play that in parades now...

Our jazz band is setting up! Come out and see us at the OKC Arts Festival!
