Horn and percussion auditions continue on Wednesday evening, February 10 at Brooklyn Center High School. Our departure time is 6:30 p.m. Bring a friend and pack comfortably for an evening rehearsal including music and movement.
In addition, Minnesota Brass is excited to announce the continuation of our long-standing relationship with Dynasty USA for our battery and front line percussion equipment Our arrangement with Dynasty allows the drum corps and Minnesota Brass Indoor to perform on all new battery equipment each season.
In 2016 the corps will also be replacing our entire line of percussion keyboard equipment through Dynasty USA including an entire new set of Bergerault, Rosewood marimbas, Bergerault vibes and a Bergerault pedal glockenspiel. This equipment is currently being manufactured in France for Minnesota Brass in time for our 2016 performances!
