Boulevard Brass Band

We are honking every Thursday night, 6 pm, at 595 Nantahala Ave, Athens, GA. Bring any instrument that you can play while walking--no auditions! There's a wide range of experience levels. We try to make the music accessible whether or not you can read notes. It is helpful to know where a concert B flat is on your instrument. The goal is to create impromptu parades in the neighborhood.

​

Our first song is "Oh When the Saints." Those four words correlate to the notes B flat, D, E flat, and F, in ascending order. After repeating that three times, we learn that the saints go mar-ching in. "In" is played in C. Then we say we'd like to be in that num-ber. "Ber" is an E flat. Ok, so there you go! That's the first song. Of course wild improvisation is encouraged.

 

I've created a drop down menu of all the songs we are currently playing (see above).
