What People
Have to Say About Capital Brass!
Bill Flaker
Drum Corps World review

Capital Brass used a jazz
musical book and tossed out red
foam balls to the crowd at the
end of their opening
number. Hunting Wabbits
was a tribute to cartoon music,
nicely done and only lacked
Elmer Fudd to be complete this
selection. The driving dance
number Hey, Pachuco
showcased seven talented
sopranos across the stage to
close out a strong showing.

It was also cool to see
Kiltie legend Kenny Norman
performing with Capital Brass
who played one of my favorite
arrangements of the evening,

Capital Brass! – I enjoyed
your laid-back concert style
with the seated players. ......The closer “Hey Pachuco”
was a wonderful way
to end the performance. You guys
were having fun up there and you
could tell.

Thank you again. My wife
thought you guys did a great
job. She didn't really know who
you were. She just said
"the guys in the hawaiian shirts
(SNAP!) were really good".

I wanted to thank you for
being at the POW Recognition Day

....displaying exceptional
talent with their brass ensemble
... their ensemble appeared
THREE times! ... and what they
presented definitely whetted
everyone's appetite for future
shows they'll be appearing
at....
Capital Brass definitely
showed the crowd what quality,
versatility and GE is all about
... I was VERY impressed with
your THREE performances (all
different)...
Sky's Alumni and the BHOF
partnered in this venture and
you guys made it a success ...
building this new wave I&E
circuit is a challenging task
but, having groups like yours in
the fold can only mean success
for upcoming shows in Bayonne
and Bridgeport.
All the best

Terrific Work by All, and

Appearing third was Capital
Brass! from Albany, NY,
delivering what was arguably its
strongest performance to date.
This corps features a big band
motif, which is clearly a crowd
pleaser. We overheard several
folks commenting on how much
more polished the corps was
since its showing in Bridgeport
last month. Keep up the great
work.

Capital Brass....I saw you
guys warming up in the
room......MAN....WHAT A
SOUND!!!!!! Forget about the
upright tuba garbage......use
whatever horns you like. Just
continue to put out that sound,
and for sure you are destined
for great things yourself!!!
GREAT Trumpet

Great job!

terrific guys, very
talented, and doing
things just right,
musically and socially.
The Crowd loved the
Corps, and the charts.
Had a terrific time with CB.

Success!

“Capital Brass” all the way from
Albany, NY. This impacting brass
ensemble gave our kids something
to aspire to. The selections of
“Concierto De Aranjuez” & “Sway
“ brought a sweet taste of
variety to the show.

Received a call from
one of the Judges last night,
the minute he got home, just so
he could tell me the news...
He was absolutely raving about
Capitol Brass's maturity and
depth of sound....
