I was just informed that the Carlisle Town Band will be playing “Carlisle Indian School March” at their concert on Sunday. Several years ago, I found the sheet music for it in the National Archives. Unfortunately, Dennison Wheelock only provided a score for piano. Some years ago, I gave the sheet music to the band so their arranger could write the parts for the various band instruments. At long last the scoring has been finished and the Carlisle Town Band will be playing Wheelock’s march in a concert for the public.
Prior to this, all unmusical me was able to do was to input the piano score into MuseScore and get a synthesized piano output. You can play it by clicking on here. You may have to skip over an ad or two before it plays.
Earlier, I was able to get the Second Presbyterian Church choir to sing the Carlisle School Song, written by Pop Warner. To hear it click here.
I hope to get a recording of the fully instrumented version of Carlisle Indian School March.

Great work, Tom. We couldn’t get the links to work from the email or your blog. Let us know if that works out.
Thanks and please thank Ann for the beautiful card and note.
Hugs to both of you.

Hi Flo,
We hope youâre feeling better. Because I use the free version of WordPress for my blog, Iâm not allowed to upload audio files. So, I put them on a directory under my website and link to them. I get nasty security messages when I click on the links but override them and let the files download. I play them by clicking on the downloaded file names. Iâll have to find a different way for linking to them.

I’ve had these saved to my computer and external hard hard drive off of YouTube a number of years now Tom, I was astonished to find them. Thank you for all of your work. Bye the way, I’ve communicated with the Public Relations contacts both at the Carlisle Barracks, and the PR guy from the U.S Government, Entertainment Branch, in regards to filming there, and West Point. I was first, introduced to the Carlisle contact from a Native American (Seneca) gentleman who is a West Point graduate, and the great nephew of Frank Mt. Pleasant. Carlisle has expressed great interest in my filming there, and the two or three hurdles that the government has, are easily surmountable. You’re aware that they renamed Indian Field to Mt. Pleasant Field I would assume? Thanks again for all of your research.
