That is nice to hear. I wish they had played this same song at my sons graduation. He was a member of the WBHS Vanguard until graduating HS last week. June 2, 1982...30 years ago to the day for myself. Thanks for the good words...
Well done. This brings back vivid memories of my high school graduation in 1967. Over strong objections, our band director convinced the graduation committee to use "Proud Heritage" as the processional instead of the traditional "Pomp and Circumstances." He took that risk, in part, to pay homage to my Dad, David Sengstack, the owner of Summy-Birchard, Co., the publisher of "Proud Heritage." Thank you for doing such a fine job on this timeless, beautifully crafted work.
This is a nice performance, which I also appreciate. Occasionally I like to watch UA-cam to find performances of my Dad's pieces. It's an interesting story about this being played for the son of the owner of Summy-Birchard, Co. This is a great graduation band piece and alternative to Pomp & Circumstance. Again, though, excellent performance. The tempo was just right. Thanks. Carol Latham.

This was played as the recessional at my high school graduation on June 2, 2002 - 10 years ago today!
