Notes:

Side 1 features the United States Naval Academy Band. Begun in 1853 with 13 men (above, the 1860 band poses with its young mascot), the present complement of 64 musicians is charged with providing music for the Brigade of Midshipmen. Led by Lieutenant John R. Blesdoe, these professional men and--since 1970--women demonstrate their versatility with a rousing series of band numbers.

Side 2 features the 80-member Midshipmen Glee Club, composed of 20 men from each class and led by John B. Talley, the Academy's Director of Musical Activities. Beginning with "Anchors Aweigh," composed by the Academy bandmaster in 1906, the midshipment's repertoire includes sea chanteys, rollicking off-duty songs, the Academy's alma mater--"Navy Blue and Gold"--and concludes with "Eternal Father Strong to Save," the moving hymn that has closed every Academy Chapel service since 1879.
