Specific Thunderbird Track (Help?)

Post by Kujo » Wed Nov 01, 2017 4:49 pm

Hello, everyone. It is my first post on these forums and I'm wondering if anybody has a clear copy of the old USAF Rock Band (Top Cover)'s "My Country Tis Of Thee." I had heard it multiple times and found it to be an excellent tune. Though I could never find it by myself searching all over the internet. After a while, actually last year, there was an air show promotional video on an AFB's website that had an exact, stereo copy of the music track but it was cut up into multiple pieces. That leads me to believe that it's still out there somewhere. Does anyone else have a copy of it or can find it please? It would be very much appreciated :smile:

The track can also be heard in numerous '08-'10 show season videos. For example:

Unfortunately the only available studio quality version of the track is by Hot Brass.

A very late bump, but I had managed to get in touch with the official US Air Force Bands Facebook page some time ago and the track was found in their archives! I'm reposting it here to keep it alive for old time's sake.

Recorded somewhere around 1996-97 at Lackland Air Force Base; the same exact recording the Thunderbirds had played at numerous shows from '06 to '11. :smile:
