Old Crown Brass Band is proud to announce the formation of a second ensemble: the Old Crown Metro Brass Band!
The Old Crown Metro Brass Band is designed for players of all backgrounds who are eager to continue their musical growth, perform at a high level, and contribute to the thriving brass band tradition in our community. Members will enjoy access to shared resources with the Old Crown Brass Band, including rehearsal space, music library, and joint performance opportunities.
Our mission is to provide brass and percussion musicians with the chance to perform challenging and rewarding repertoire in a supportive, collaborative environment that celebrates growth and excellence.
What is an English-style brass band?
British-style brass bands feature a standardized instrumentation of brass and percussion instruments only — including cornets, tenor horns, baritones, euphoniums, trombones, tubas, and percussion. These ensembles emphasize blend, precision, and expressive storytelling through music, performing a rich repertoire that spans classic transcriptions to contemporary original works.
The Old Crown Metro Brass Band will serve both as a performing ensemble and as a development opportunity for musicians who wish to immerse themselves in this tradition. Our goal is to foster musical excellence, strengthen the local arts community, and build a vibrant foundation for the future of brass banding in the Midwest.
