We start our fall 2026 season in August and look forward to bring more brass band joy to y’all. Have a delightful summer!
Performing at Texas Community Music Festival is one of THE highlights of the year. We ALMOST got rained out, but the clouds parted just in time for our set to start. Some people and percussion did get a little wet, though. The sun came back with a vengeance, but we played on. Check out our performance of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody! Thank you TCMF for the wonderful video!
We started preparation for the test piece, Legacy by Tom Davoren, in January with once a week rehearsals. We had the pleasure and honor to do a two hour clinic with Prof. Michael Garasi where we gained a lot of insight into the nuances of the music and how our band plays together. Waiting around in the staging and warm up rooms can get a little nerve racking, but we keep it fun and friendly, even a bit goofy. The band played beautifully, lead by our wonderful Music Director, John Caputo. In the end – 2nd Section Band “O” – placed 9th out of 16 bands. ALL the bands played their butts off and hearing everyone come together for the love of brass banding and community music is one of the best things to experience!
