Modern Brass/Street Band looking for Brass players/Drummers

Greenfield MA

Description

Update: Band has played our first gig, and 6 solid members. Still could use another trumpet or trombone player, or if you play other brass too! (tuba/sousaphone, mellophone, alto horn, etc.). You can have any level of committment from "just-checking-it-out" to full-fledge band geek. We're doing weekly-ish rehearsals with smaller groups, and full group rehearsals only in preparation for gigs. The thing is designed so people can mostly practice at home using the sheet music/demos, since scheduling/travel can be tricky. It's also on a gig-by-gig basis, so no total commitment is necessary beyond being able to play the music. We will also need a new drummer past October! I have up on a Google Drive various demos of pieces I've arranged as well as relevant sheet music that I'd love to share with any interested parties! Just shoot me a message with your email address so I can send you the links. The idea for this band is as a live group, a high energy kind of party thing doing arranged pieces, which as it stands so far are mostly covers of NES/Sega era video game music, pop hits from the 80s and 90s, but with brass and drums and changed grooves. It may seem odd but the stuff I've been getting going there is a really cool/fresh take on the whole brass band notion, and I'm only looking forward to moving it forward in the future into new ideas (hip hop/etc). on instagram secret_bonus_mission and also on facebook.
