Commander Franklin Buchanan served as the first Superintendent. His fac- ulty consisted of four officers and three civilian professors. There were 50 students. Initially, the academic and professional instruction required five yearsthe first and last at Annapolis, with the intervening three at sea. In 1850, the Naval School became the United States Naval Academy. The following year, the Academy adopted its current course of instruction which includes four consecutive years at Annapolis, with at-sea training provided during the summers. The Naval Academy moved to Newport, R.I., during the Civil War. In 1865, it was re-established at Annapolis under the leadership of Vice Admiral David Dixon Porter. During these early years, the Academy was one of the few institutions of high- er learning offering a sophisticated undergraduate course in tech- nical education. The late 19th century saw immense changes in naval tech- nology with the conversion from sail-powered, wooden ships to steam-powered vessels of steel, which also resulted in rapid developments in naval weaponry and tactics. With the Spanish- American War in 1898, the United States became a world naval power, and early Naval Academy graduates like George Dewey and Alfred Thayer Mahan made significant contributions to our national heritage. The new century saw the nations undergraduate naval college grow in size and academic prowess. The Class of 1895 had pro- duced 41 graduates.

This will allow us to provide more in-depth stories and a new feature on the work done by our bands out in the fleet. Whether through music, imagery, video or articles, we’re always looking for new ways to reach more people, and to connect Americans with their Navy. We had a busy summer! June 5 was the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Midway, one of the greatest naval battles the world has ever witnessed and a critical turning point in the Pacific during World War II. Navy bands supported commemoration events around the world. We even sent musicians to Midway Atoll, where a bugler and vocalist from the U.S. Pacific Fleet Band participated in a globally-broadcast ceremony. Inspired by the “Greatest Generation,” our Sailors and civilians carry on that legacy of adaptation and resilience. Believe it or not, we’re already nearing the end of 2017. It’s been a great year, and we anticipate an even greater 2018. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you at one of our concerts. Kenneth C.

Four years together by the Bay, where Severn joins the tide, Then by the Service called away, we’re scattered far and wide; But still when two or three shall meet, and old tales be retold, From low to highest in the Fleet, we’ll pledge the Blue & Gold. So hoist our colors, hoist them high, and vow allegiance true, So long as sunset gilds the sky, above the ocean’s blue. Just let us live the life we love, and with our voyage through, May we all muster up above, a-wearing Navy Blue. 2 Presented by: USNA Parents Club of Maryland USNA Parents Club of Northern Virginia 8 February 2014 3 Table of Contents Introduction ........................................................................................................................................... 4 Weekly Schedule .................................................................................................................................... 5 Friday, 16 May 2014 ........................................................................................................................... 5 Saturday, 17 May 2014 ...................................................................................................................... 5 Sunday, 18 May 2014 ........................................................................................................................

    US Armed Forces Service Songs & Lyrics Researched and written by Mike Concannon Captain US Navy (Retired) Webmaster MOAA Western New York Chapter This narrative discusses the history and associated lyrics of the official or quasi-official songs of each individual service.

The caisson carried two extra ammunition chests, a spare wheel and extra limber pole slung beneath. There was one caisson for each artillery piece in a battery. Before “The Caisson Song” was adopted as the official tune of the U.S. Army, it was the proud anthem of the U.S. Field Artillery Corps. During a long march in the Philippines, Lieutenant Edmund L. “Snitz” Gruber overheard an officer roar “Come on! Keep ‘em Rolling!” Gruber was suddenly inspired, and that night, wrote the now-famous melody. Fellow soldiers helped with the lyrics and soon all six regiments of the U.S. Field Artillery had adopted “The Caisson Song” as a popular marching tune. The song became a chart-topper during World War I, selling 750,000 copies.
