awk removing sections of a file

I have a file that looks liek this (see below). can somebody provide me with and awk or sed command that can take a piece of the file starting from the time to the blank line and put in into another file.

For example: How would I get the data from 10:56:11 to the blank line.

Two things:

1) I want to leave the original file in tact.

2) I will know the value but my seconds may be off, so I would really only
want to match HH:MM instead of HH:MM:SS.

10:56:10
PID ELAPSED
1 11-18:33:15
73828 11-18:32:28
77906 11-18:32:29

10:56:11
PID ELAPSED
1 11-18:33:16
73828 11-18:32:29
77906 11-18:32:30
90208 11-18:32:30

10:58:10
PID ELAPSED
1 11-18:33:15
73828 11-18:32:28
77906 11-18:32:29

Thanks in advance to all who answer this post
