Dave Fite

Dave's horn is older than Yoda and he's been playing nearly that long. His background is steeped in drum corps - most notably the US Air Force Corps with which he spent 3 years touring the US and Europe. Dave also sat in with the Airmen of Note. During the 1970s he focused on his business career. Then in 1980, Dave decided to fill the musical void in his life by founding the Steel City Ambassadors drum and bugle corps. In 2001, he reunited with his friend and Steel City alum, Ron LaVerde, to form URB. Dave Fite
