Decades ago, retired Col. Arnald Gabriel, former conductor of the U.S. Air Force Band, signed a contract to conduct the Wheaton Municipal Band on his 100th birthday. He first conducted it in 1992 after being invited to do so by Bruce Moss, the now 46-year conductor of the band. Gabriel said at the time that the only way he would breach the contract is if he were no longer around to conduct the band. On July 26, 2025, he took the virtual stage, from his home in Washington, DC.
