Profile of Hungry March Band, a 23-piece marching band from Brooklyn.

The Hungry March Band is a 23-piece marching band from Brooklyn, NY. Think once about high school football games, but then think again, because these dudes never set foot on the 50-yard line. This is a crazy, sexy, hip and fun incarnation of the brass band. Originally aired June 26 2004 on Public Radio Weekend.

Review of Hungry March Band

Rock and roll! Come play on my street! These folks are wacky and fun and I like it. This is one of those works where the production could be awful and the piece would still fly because the suject is compelling and sound-rich. But the production IS good, so there's the icing. It's hard to go wrong with the carnivalesque. Everyone should air this or at least give it a listen.

Review of Hungry March Band

Reverend Billy likes ‘em, and I sure do wish they wandered around my neighborhood. A marching band blasting through the summer’s humid heat pumps the heartbeat a notch faster. I could have used a little more full out brass blast, but the band volume is lowered to allow for good visuals-providing descriptions. Already aired, but such pleasant summer fill-in fare, could stand to be aired more than once.
