WQXR doesn't make it all the way to Washington, DC since WHUR from Howard University Radio is on 96.3 down here in the Nation's capital. I'll see if I can check it out on www.wqxr.com.

Let me also say what a TREAT it was to play with the "Jazz Knights" and the reconstituted USMA Rock Band last weekend at the almni and retirees concert. I had a FANTASTIC time both bands played wonderfully!

Larry Wilson

Larry Wilson As a West Point band member (69-72) I witnessed one of the funniest
events. The Statue of Washington on his horse was moved one day
in the early 70's, from Trophy Point to the present location on the
other side of the Plain. We were rehearsing at the band shell down the
hill from Trophy Point and saw George Washington riding his horse
down the road. From our vantage point we couldn't see the flat bed
truck that was carrying the statue. Unaware of the plans to move the
statue caused great confusion ... before we all broke out in spontaneous laughter.

Roger Also, could the band consider having more concerts with the Hellcats combined. When you guys play together you are a unique combined ensemble unlike any other US service band. "Sambre et Meuse" and "West Point March" are great selections for you and I have heard older recordings of them. But there is so much more you could do togther. In years past it seems both played together more than seems to be the case today. Too bad.

Roger The concert was very good in Bklyn. First-rate in fact. I think the audience was disappointed that "Stars and Stripes" was not played as an encore. Even thouhg I can pass on hearing that great march for the 100th time, I thought it was a standard encore pass almost like "Scotland the Brave" is for british combined bands as they march-off.

The program could have used a march to end the first half and to open the second half. Two good choices would have been perhaps an R.B. Hall march "Officerr of the Day" or "New Colonial" Karl King could have been included with his "Purple Pageant". You could give Sousa a break by playing these great US march composers so that the American public might still get a little exposure to them. lesser known Sousa marches also would be great

Bob Shoaf Yes Pat went to the West Point band after serving in Korea, would have been somewhere around 81-85 when he first got there, and not sure when he retired, but I do think he retired from the West Point band as well. He is married to Kim Casey, from Korea and had two children Linda (mid 30s now) and Benjamin (about 2-3 years younger than Linda). His mother lived in Texas. He played alto sax. He was learning to become a piano technician (tuner etc) when we last saw each other in Texas at his mothers home, around 1986 or so.
