What is a Brass Band? - Meet the instruments.

Brass bands are musical ensembles made up almost exclusively, if not entirely, of instruments from the brass family. These types of bands are some of the most versatile ensembles, as brass bands can perform everything from orchestral arrangements to pop tunes. They may perform indoors or outdoor and provide a rich, warm but powerful sound.

Brass bands normally consist of instruments that span from soprano to bass in range. These include cornets and flugelhorns, trombones and tubas.
