@@robertreid2931 The entire saxophone section was made up of lead players 😬🔥

@@youthjazz I didn't know or ever hear Burnett or Hill. Knew Ray Evans a little, being a fellow Marine, but never heard him or played with him. Was instructed by Nesbitt as a basic student and Philbrick as an intermediate student. Philbrick was just one of those guys who played impeccably in every aspect. I wish I could have spent more time with him.

@@robertreid2931 Yes, I know the history: Christopher Burnett came on staff from the NATO band and was the Army First Sergeant for the Student Company. He continued as a professional musician after the military. Google him. Aaron Hill was also a former Army Warrant Officer and a brilliant musician. He remained in music after retirement from the military as well. As stated earlier, all of those players were "beasts" as you say.

@@youthjazz Thanks for the background on those guys. As I sit here remembering, the name Aaron Hill does ring a bell, but that's about the extent of my memory of him. I retired in '08. Mitch Martin was about the only one in this group I kept in touch with, but have since lost contact since I left Facebook.
