My Friends,

West Point Band Hudson Valley Holiday Concert on Fox News

If you have not figured it out, my day job is Clarinetist and Drum Major in the West Point Band, educating, training, and inspiring the U.S. Corps of Cadets at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, New York. I’m in my nineteenth year serving here and have performed 20 Hudson Valley Holiday Concerts.

For many of those years, I served as an extra duty as publicist for the band. I tirelessly publicized the Hudson Valley Holiday Concerts and the show drew some of the best indoor crowds over the years (between 1500 and 3500 each year often for two concerts).

Fox News came earlier December 2011 to film our concert, several chamber ensembles, and West Point scenic shots to make a Christmas special to be shown on 23, 24 and 25 December. Following is the broadcast schedule:

Eastern Standard Time

12/23 (10pm)

12/24 (1am, 5am, 10pm) Christmas Eve

12/25 (1am, 4am, 1pm) Christmas Day

As the West Point Band focuses on duty at the Military Academy and New York Metropolitan area, it is not known as well as the Washington, D.C. special military bands. I assure you, this band rocks and is an honor to serve with every single Soldier/Musician. I hope you enjoy the show. We have not seen it yet, and are looking forward to their compilation.
