Producers: Trent Wolbe
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 BandReverend 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. |

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.
