British Brass Band

British brass band is made up entirely of brass and percussion instruments. The modern day brass band is based on a tradition of friendly community competition. Our instrumentation is also different than you might see in a concert band or orchestral brass section. Brass bands use cornets instead of trumpets, flugelhorn, Eb tenor horns instead of French horns, and Eb and BBb tubas in addition to tenor and bass trombones, baritones, and euphonium. This mix of instruments creates a darker, warmer sound that is unique to brass bands.
