This is perhaps the toughest of the entries I've made on this site to date. I know we have lost many of our associates in the past and although I don’t want to trivialize any of our fallen friends and family I would like to pay special tribute to Milton Bowsher. He joined our Lord last Friday after a prolonged battle following an automobile accident.
I had the pleasure of playing in the 1971-3 trumpet section in which Milton wielded an Eb trumpet on field and a Bb full sized horn in concert band. He was always full of energy and an all around great guy. I’ll never forget his passion and enthusiasm for the band and his leadership on and off the field.
Services will be held on Saturday, June 27, 2009, at Christ Fellowship, 5718 Grand Blvd., New Port Richey. The family will receive friends from 12:30 pm until 2 pm and a celebration of his life will begin at 2 pm. He will be buried at Florida National Cemetery privately. In lieu of flowers, contributions to be made to the Angel Fund at Christ Fellowship Church. To sign his guestbook, please see veteransfuneralcare.com. Veterans Funeral Care 727-524-9202

Rare Early Band of Gold Performance Now Available |

A rare recording of the 1971 Band of Gold has just been added to our multimedia page. This selection was recorded after the Band was awarded its first National Field Show Championship at the VFW convention in Dallas, the "Big D". The winning band was traditionally given the honor of performing their winning show and National Anthem as a segway to another phase of that convention. Prior to this performance, the Band experienced a grueling schedule of rehearsals and performances. Tired chops were the primary reason for a few uncharacteristic "splats" that may be noticed from this final performance of that trip.
