What we do...

Our concert band, consist of over 50 musicians who are members of various instrument sections within the concert band which includes woodwinds (flute, clarinet, oboe, saxophone), brass (trumpets, French horns, trombones, euphoniums, tuba), and a percussion (tympani, snare and bass drum, cymbals, chimes, and xylophone). Concert band music comes from a rich resource of concert band composes and arrangers with early transcriptions from classic music to current march and concert music written exclusively for concert band musical formats.
