Hampton Roads’ Premier Horn & Party Band, BrassWind spans the scope of music authentically: a calculated rhythm section, captivating vocalists, and of course; high-octane Brass! Since 2018, the roster has evolved and the scope of genres & styles has grown making them the most eclectic party band around.
BrassWind is composed completely of retired/active-duty military & rounded out by several of the original charter-member teachers that have remained. Though the roster and genres/styles have evolved & grown, the mission has always been the same: To bring back good quality music to Hampton Roads and beyond...and to do it the right way. The way it was meant to be done...an incredibly gifted rhythm section paired with real horns and exceptional vocals! We call it...
