Dave,
I wish your guys luck with their raffle. WAY back when I was a lowly, trombone playing Midshipman at the Academy, our band would play with the Nassau County Police Department Pipe and Drum corps, and it was awesome. When we accompanied them on 'Amazing Grace' it was hard not to feel a chill up your spine.
Even though a lot of times we performed with them were not for happy occasions, I have great memories of the them.
It took a while to get used to the guy marching in front of you carrying a side arm....
Please give them my best, and thank you for donating your talent to a worthy cause.
