A Note about British Style Bands

In America, over the past several decades, there has been a surge in performing brass bands using the typical British Style Brass Instrumentation.  The sounds and style are different from the traditional concert band, in that is uses a variety of different brass instruments and percussions. Cornets are used instead of trumpets. Flugelhorn and upright Tenor Horns (instead of French Horns) are in the mid-range of sound, and trombones and upright Tubas are used to deliver the lower sounds. Combined, these instruments provide a unique and rich color of sound from brilliant to melodious, and when combined, will delight the listener.
