Dublin Metro Brass
|
Dublin Metro Brass is a British-style Brass Band that was formed with the intention of merging the “community band” and “competition band” experiences. British-style Brass Bands differ from a traditional Concert Band or Wind Symphony in both group size and instrumentation. Brass Bands are smaller (~30 players), leaving parts more exposed than in a larger band setting - there may be only 2 or 3 musicians on each part, with opportunities to solo. Instruments are limited to Soprano and Bb Cornet, Flugelhorn, Eb Tenor Horn, Baritone, Euphonium, Trombone, Eb and Bb Tuba, and Percussion. (If you have experience with any brass instrument, you may be comfortable switching to learn a new part!) Learn more about Brass Bands and instrumentation here.
Membership in DMB is open to anyone (no audition necessary) willing to commit to a full season and the preparation needed to compete at a high level of excellence. Regular attendance at rehearsals and consistent individual practicing are essential for the success of this group. A mixture of local concerts and competition events like the Dublin Festival of Brass, the North American Brass Band Association Championships, and the Ohio Brass Arts Festival will make up each season.
