What to expect

The Forte Brass is a brass quintet. But, based on the client's needs, we can be as small as one soloist or varying group sizes up to a 30-piece brass and percussion ensemble. The brass quintet includes 2 trumpets, 1 French horn, 1 trombone, and 1 tuba. Our attire is always black formal unless otherwise requested.

Our experience performing weddings gives us the know how to execute perfect timing with bridal processions, ceremony music, and recessionals.

We also have exceptional timing at events such as graduations and surprise parties.

Our repertoire ranges from classical to pop and from grandiose to swinging'! You might hear Bach's 'Toccata and Fugue' or 'Wipe Out' the famous surfer tune.
