Carlisle Indian School March

November 13, 2024

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.
