Your lead Alto Sax man (Bob Blankenburg) is a dear friend of mine.  We were Navy Musician buddies many years ago and I was privileged to 'sit in' (at the 1st Tenor Sax chair) for a few minutes with your band during a rehearsal in a gymnasium somewhere there in Plainville.  I was enjoying a few days visit with Bob and his lovely wife Marilyn (Lynn) at their then Plainville home.  This was shortly after the 911 debacle that took place in Sept. of 2001.  The Plainville Wind Ensemble group is surely a winner, and the members I met were very nice to me.  I wish you all much success and 'good playing' always.
