PROGRAM
Performance UGA
The British Brass Band is UGA’s newest brass and percussion ensemble. Its instrumentation is standard for brass bands
around the world. Because of the conical
nature of these brass instruments, the sound
of the band is more lush and mellow than
the typical orchestral brass ensemble. The
exception is the trombone section, which
acts as the trumpet sound of the band. With
these attributes, the brass band can play
from the most intimate to the most dynamic and vibrant of colors. Upon hearing the
band, it will become apparent why this kind
of brass ensemble is the best way to train

brass players for the musical, technical, and
physical demands of their instruments.
The UGA British Brass Band has quickly
become a favorite of audiences in the Athens-Atlanta area, appearing in concert at
the Chick-fil-A Corporate Christmas Open
House, as well as at the UGA Holiday Concerts. The band has just returned from the
2017 North American Brass Band Association Championships where, on its first entry into the competition, the band finished
in Third Place in the First Section.
