Cancel the prelims and have a 2 day party at I&E!

I wasn't sure a professional video was made in 1991. That's why I put DCA in ( )'s with a ? at the end of the sentence. What video company shot it? From my post, what made you think I was suggesting that? I simply asked for some information! "I'd love a video, how do I get one (DCA)?" David Martin

Hey Fossil, I'd love a video, how do I get one (DCA)? David Martin

Donny, I have the official breakdowns from both the prelims and the finals. Give me his email address and we'll shut him up. David Martin 1991 Empire Statesmen Brass Caption Head and Co-Arranger

Chris, That's the story of my life, beat out by a superhero! David

It dosen't matter, 2nd, 3rd, 4th flugelhorn, a drill (even though I am the inventor of pit brass, which was by necessity not choice) all that matters is the chance to be a Renegade for a few days. That's all that counts. And besides, I read like a bear, ask Roland. David Martin

Lee, Send me the music! David Martin

My Dad "Harvey" joined his first corps in 1937 in Gloversville, NY. I didn't start until 1955 in Rochester, NY. David Martin

I played most of the solos with the 1967 Crusaders, at age 16. I was featured, in the concert number (you youngster know what that is?) St. James Infirmery. David Martin

I played large Schilke's (20,18,17,15) for 35yrs. and recently found the GR 67m a little less work to accomplish the same result.

There you go! Right from the horses mouth. And that's exactly the way I remember it. Yes, many fond memories and lots of memories I don't remember. See you all at the reunion, Labor Day Weekend, Knights Inn (Pittston exit), Scranton PA. Great job Kausch! David Martin, one of the troops

The Hitmen play Schilke B5's, you got $2800?

The uni's were JC Penny's work clothes. My mother Shirley sewed and fitted all the extra pieces to the uni in our living room. The whole outfit priced out for under $30, shoes not included. With the people in that corps nude would have work also. David Martin

fff Your review was terrific. Don't let the little stuff bother you. The big newspapers make errors too. I loved it! Thanks for your time and effort. David Martin, director/ that soprano(trumpet) The Hitmen Brass Band

Just to correct your review, which by the way was great, The Hitmen are 2002,2003 DCA Brass Ensemble Champions. That is what Mr. Hershman said on Saturday in his intro. David Martin, director and that soprano(trumpet) player The Hitmen Brass Band

On behalf of the Hitmen Brass Band, I would like to thank everyone who attended Serenade in Brass for the warm reception we received. It's alway a thrill to perform in front of such a drum corps saavy audience. Thank You David Martin, director Hitmen Brass Band
