Our wonderful musicians are drawn from the Princeton area, although some travel from Philadelphia and Manhattan. Such is the commitment of the band that nobody is paid: everyone does it for the sheer love of music and the enjoyment of good company. Our players come from every kind of occupational and international background bringing a wealth of diversity to bear on our great brass band tradition. We plan to build on this tradition through commissioning many of Americas best composers, as well as composers from around the world, to write new music especially for us. In addition, we hope to build educational links with some of the world class institutions and schools that surround us in the beautiful Princeton area: the future of this burgeoning American brass band movement is with the young, and we are already encouraging musicians of tomorrow, like Robert King (14), whose mother brings him to sit in our Sunday night rehearsals - to be inspired. Finally, we like to think of ourselves as a family in the very best sense.

We are building this family by winning a loyal audience that trusts us, knowing that we can be relied upon to give them a quality experience with musical memories to last a lifetime. This is why we do it: in a word INSPIRATION.
