As plebe summer draws to a close, the Brigade reforms, and Fall semester kicks off, I hope that you all had a safe, healthy, and terrific summer vacation. The Class of 2025 has proven to be a talented bunch and we are all looking forward to seeing how they integrate and contribute to musical activities around the yard. Check out this video of the Catholic Choir performing the Navy Hymn…. were we ever that young?!
Talleybash is Back!
Marcia and I are hosting yet another TalleyBash (don’t we ever give up?) on Friday, October 8 from 5-7 p.m...or whenever 😉. There will be a Navy game on Saturday, October 9, and if you’re planning to come for the weekend, save some time for us. Raise a glass, sing a song, remember the good times, catch up with old friends.
What’s the occasion? We’re celebrating two things: 50 years of supporting music at the Naval Academy, and Friends of Naval Academy Music. We’ve accomplished much in the last three years; details at the party.
Let me know if you can attend, and help me spread the word among your musical friends. RSVP to j.barry.talley@gmail.com.
