My Dad, my granddaddy, my grandpa, several of my uncles and one aunt. These are the members of my family who served in various branches of the military. Although I wasn’t old enough (or even born) to remember everyone’s service or time spent abroad, knowing about it helps me to understand the seriousness of their ...
Everybody always talks about the healing power of music. Well, I’m here to tell you, it’s true. Last week when all the news was focused on Boston and terrorists, I could not, absolutely could not, tear myself away from the news. I sank deeper and deeper into the darkness of the situation. By the end ...
Things are finally calming down around DB headquarters. Kind of. Echoes of the Emerald Isles went astoundingly well and both weekends of performances were a blast for everyone involved. After that delightful chaos came a brief lull in productivity which we spent skiing, sleeping and in general recovery from our three straight weeks of working ...

Earlier this week I was reading Jane Austen’s classic novel, Pride and Prejudice. I kept thinking, “Nobody speaks like this anymore, nobody acts like this anymore, nobody writes like this anymore!” It got me thinking about the classics. We all have them, know them and love them. Whether it be movies, books or music, we ...
2012. Well, what can be said? The Denver Brass had a great year filled with trials and turbulence coupled with joys and successes. But isn’t that how every year goes? I don’t know anybody who has had a year of only ups or only downs. It’s the ebb and flow of life. The way things ...
Last weekend our show, Brass and Angels on High went beautifully! It was delightfully festive. Young Voices of Colorado was the closest thing to a chorus of angels I’ve ever heard and the Brass was phenomenal, as always. If I do say so myself. It’s possible I’m biased. I digress. We are greatly looking forward ...
It’s no secret how much we love brass. We play all over the great state of Colorado and beyond, all year long with smiles on our faces and joy in our hearts. Since Christmas is a time to spread joy, in 2000, we created Holiday Brass Fest. It’s the perfect time to gather together and ...
