The band community of West Texas has lost a great friend. David Martinez, the "road guy" for Tarpley Music in San Angelo has passed away due to COVID complications. He was way way too young to be gone so soon. A big guy with a bigger heart, a good friend, and an invaluable help to all of the area band directors, especially us "small school" guys out in the sticks. Peace and love to his family.

STAY SAFE and cherish the people around you.
