Music Variety — Something for Everyone
We're unique in that we play as a 40-piece Concert Band, a 20-piece Jazz Band, and contract to a show band, a brass quintet or smaller ensembles. Because of our flexibility, we play everything — orchestral, rock, soul, and funk. Our Concert Band, which plays the most frequently, performs a wide variety of music including movie scores, showtunes, Big Band standards, marches, and other classic masterpieces.
Leading Colorado Musicians
We're made up of some of the best professional Colorado musicians. Many of our performers play with other ensembles such as the Colorado Symphony, Colorado Ballet, Central City Opera, Denver Brass, and the Queen City Jazz Band. In fact, famous visiting musicians want to play with us.
Our Conductor and Executive Director, Joe Martin
Dr. Martin's professional brass playing includes principal trombone/euphonium with the Denver Brass, trombonist with the Aries Brass Quintet and principal trombonist with the High Altitude trombone quartet.
