Dear Hobos,
I would like to thank you for the fun time your little group made for us at the Bath Halloween parade. As usual the music was great and the crowd loved you. We also won First Place for the best small float. Thank you for your support and hope to see you soon.
Sincerely,

From the Girardville Parade Committee....
Dear Hobos,
We wanted to contact you guys to let you know that the Hobo Band got 2nd place for NON high School Marching Band in the Girardville Parade last Saturday. One of our commitee members will get the plaque to you in the coming weeks. Hope you guys had a great time and look forward to 2011. If you guys get Service Electric Cable TV in your area, the parade will be re-broadcast on Thursday at 7pm and Saturday at Noon. Check with your local providers. The parade was also featured in 2 Irish magazines and a documentary on Irish heritage titled "One Nation, One Heart..the Irish." It can occasionally be seen on PBS channels. Congratulations on your award and we will get a representative to meet with you soon. We will contact you by phone or email. Thank You for another great performance in Girardville!
Sincerely,

You are to be commended for your efforts, and truly are a role model to your peers. I really hope you will consider coming back to our parade next year.

A performance by the Allentown Hobo "Almost" Marching Band is a lesson in organized chaos....

From the Freemansburg Fire Co....
Again I would like to Thank You and the members of the Allentown Hobo Band for coming through and helping us in a pinch like that. If you can please let everyone know how much we appreciated it!!! I heard alot of good comments about the band from our members. Unfortunately the line up before the parade was a little messed up and confusing. I know we had a great time and I hope your band did also. Just so you know, our department won first place for best appearing marching fire company with less then 35 members (we had 32) with a band of not less then 10 musicians. Again thanks for all your help and we will keep the Band in mind for future Parades.

From Craig M. Borst, RCN Host....
HI Gang (both those of who I know and those I don't)!
I am sincerely glad to have found your web page. What a delight!
The real purpose of my writing is to let you all know how much Ann
Savkova and I do enjoy your treatment of us at the many parades
we cover for RCN-TV. Although we expect something from Joe
Mascari, and I do from Wendy Siegfried, (personal and professional
friends), well----we just never know!! ...And that's the joy of bringing
all of you to our audience.
Please keep making your wonderful music available to all of us.
Never conform!! You guys are terrific!!
