     Henderson Field March by Karl King
Written in 1943, Henderson Field is named after the airfield on Guadalcanal (Solomon Islands).  In 1942, World War II was well underway.  Allied reconnaissance revealed Japanese constructing an airfield on the island of Guadalcanal.  The location would provide a strategic location of control for the Japanese.  U.S. forces began planning an invasion of the island known as "Operation Watchtower".  The invasion took place August 7, 1942.  Within two weeks the Americans had secured the airfield.  It was named "Henderson Field" after Major Lofton Henderson, a Marine pilot killed at the Battle of Midway (June 1942).  Additional information can be found at:  www.ixpres.com/ag1caf/cactus/history.htm and www.history.navy.mil/photos/events/wwii-pac/guadlcnl/guadlcnl.htm.  This recording by the Symphonic Band on May 11, 2002 at the Morton H.

     Slane by Douglas Wagner  
This tune is of Irish folk origin. It is named for a hill about ten miles from Tara hill in County Meath. It is on Slane hill, according to an account in the "Confessions of St. Patrick" that the Irish saint defied the command of
the pagan king Loigaire by lighting the Pascal candle on Easter Eve. St.
Patrick's act was done in defiance of the king's edict that no fire could be ignited before the royal fire was lit by the king's hand on Tara hill. The royal fire was kindled to celebrate the pagan Spring festival and symbolized
the return of light and change of season following the darkness of winter.  The tune was first published in 1909 in Patrick Joyce's Old Irish Folk Music and Songs. The melody has several characteristics usually associate with
Irish folk tune: a relatively wide range, a four phrase structure with no repetition, and a singability that gives the melody a broad popular appeal.  This recording by the Symphonic Band on April 4, 2001.

     Two British Folk Songs  by Elliott Del Borgo
