While DiMartino was at Moffitt for one of his appointments, someone noticed the picture of a trumpet on his face mask. They asked if he played. Word traveled fast and soon he was connected with The ReMissions, the Moffitt band led by President and CEO Patrick Hwu, MD.

“I never thought there would be a Moffitt band, let alone that I would be playing with them,” DiMartino said.

He was invited to a rehearsal and then guest played with the band at one of their performances.

“It was great,” DiMartino said. “Music is the universal language and you take people and put them together and they have this emotional connection of music.”
