Capital Brass Dixieland Brass ensemble was absolutely terrific on a Canadian Brass chart - played their bells off, including a picc that's awfully difficult to play in tune and blend on, done masterfully. Every foot in the room was tapping on remote control.

DCP Review of BHoF Bridgeport

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for doing such an outstanding job with Brassomania and Capital Brass this season.

Peter Davis Entertainment Agent, NYRA (Saratoga Race Track)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

These Pro's put on one heck of a show and had the crowd dancing in their seats. You could see that the audience liked the music as they recognized the songs and liked what they heard. They gave CB a standing ovation, in appreciation, for their performance. Great job guys and thanks for coming in all the way from Albany.

Auburn "In Concert" Review

----------------------------------------------------------------------

(Festival Spokesperson Dale) Perry's own returning favorites include the Capital Brass, from Albany - "I was blasted away", Mr. Perry reports, by their first appearance at the Lake George Festival last year.

The Chronicle (Lake George Region) newspaper

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Capital Brass presented Cartoon Capers - Episode 2, which transformed the entire crowd into their adolescent years of watching Looney Tunes on a Saturday morning ...(and then) offered up their fun-filled version of Cartoon Symphony to the delight of everyone ...
