What to Expect

Typical Gig Duration: 60 - 120 minutes

The band plays a wide variety of genres, from marches and transcriptions of well known music, to serious and demanding original works. By performing entertaining, quality concerts to audiences within the D.C. metropolitan area and beyond, we aim to be ambassadors for the sound of brass and percussion.

Stage/Setup Requirements:
We prefer performing on a stage, though we can perform at room level if required.

Additional Notes:
We require enough room for 30 seated musicians in a well lit environment. Each player has a music stand and percussion requires extra space.
