Director and Musicians,
It is my pleasure to extend to you the praises of our director CW4
Graff, and the musicians of the 36th Army Band, (including myself),
on your performance at the 100 year Mojave Band celebration. Your
music selection, spirited tempos, dynamic contrast, and overall
intonation and finesse were outstanding. Great job!
