Year of the Dragon: North American Brass Band Championship Send-off Concert
The Princeton Brass Band is excited to announce our next program, the last before we leave for the North American Brass Band Championships! This will be an afternoon full of fireworks for the band, as we play our two selections for the championships as well as beautiful solos and exciting works for band. You really REALLY will not want to miss this!
A little bit about NABBA... The North American Brass Band Championships, held this year in Huntsville Alabama, are the continent's premier brass band competition. Taking place over the course of several days, nearly 40 brass bands from across the continent will compete in four divisions for first place honors. We are so excited to return and compete once again this year to see how we stack up!
Along with the band's hard work in preparing musically, there are substantial time/financial commitments required of us to participate in the championship. No one playing in the PBB receives remuneration to be a part of the ensemble; we all volunteer our time to work and perform together. As you might expect, getting 30 people to Alabama for four days is quite an expense! All ticket and t-shirt sales and other donations from this concert will go to helping us offset travel costs to the competition.
