I also knew a guy that played there also...it's so long ago that I forgot his name...I also bought 2 great snare drums from him a while back. If you name some of your fellow percussionists from the West Point Band I would probably be able to pick him out.Mke Curotto
Mike, the guys I played with in the section were Dave Smith, Warren Gallic, Andy Cisack, and Howard Potter. They were the ones in the concert band with me. There were several others drummers in the drum and bugle unit and a guy named Ron Harsch in the jazz band. There was one guy who helped out sometimes from the Hellcats, but I forget his name. He always had a bunch of gear. Kim? Kal? I forget.
