Brass Band coming 2nd at UniBrass 2021
ℹ️ About
Brass Band is one of Blowsoc’s larger unauditioned ensembles which includes players of all abilities. The band is based on being a traditional Brass Band- but trumpets and French Horns are allowed. They play an assortment of music from traditional brass band pieces, to arrangements of film music and TV themes. Every year the ensemble takes part in a range of concerts, and one of the ensembles favourite events is carolling in the Christmas period. The ensemble also takes part in a range of contests throughout the academic year where they frequently have impressive results, having placed 2nd at UniBrass last year. Brass is a very friendly group that has regular socials and meet ups, including after rehearsal drinks and food in Mooch! Please don’t be shy, come along and get involved in this great ensemble whatever standard you may be.
