Dr. Al Bennett, Class of 1954, highlighted March On festivities at Homecoming this year as he led the crowd in a spirited rendition of the Maine Maritime Academy March.
Dr. Bennett is the composer of the march which he originally wrote in 1955, recorded with the University of New Hampshir marching band in 2013, and gifted to MMA in 2015.
Accompanying music for the march was a recording of the talented University of New Hampshire Band.
Dr. Bennett’s son, Dr. Garrett Bennett ’85, and brother, Roy Bennett ’62, among other family members, were in attendance to sing along.
