Hello everyone, we’re Brass Band - the best Luums ensemble! As an open ensemble, everyone playing brass or percussion, no matter your experience can join us. You don’t even need to play your first instrument! While we’re a very open and chill group, we’ve also claimed the title of most eventful ensemble in Luums. A Luums Brass Band calendar is fully packed with events and concerts throughout the year. In addition to the winter, spring, and summer concert with other Luums ensembles, we do collaborations with local Brass Bands for concerts as well as collaborations with Warwick and Durham University Brass bands for a Tri-Uni concert. Christmas carolling is important to us, and the University calls upon us for the University Carol Service every year. (They clearly agree that Brass Band is the best ensemble in Luums). Our biggest event is a travel to the annual UK UniBrass competition. Last year we were in a 3-way tie for 1st place in the trophy section, but alas, tiebreaker dropped us to 3rd place… This year we’re not going to share 1st place with anyone! Concerts aren’t the only thing on our roster. We throw regular socials events, including an annual Pancake Day social. For anyone interested in marching, we’re also thinking of adding the local WhitFriday competition to the roster, where we march through several towns across Lancashire. And after practices we always hang out at Old Bar in the union to relax with some pints/lemonades. If you’re interested in an ensemble that’s cool, classy, eventful, (and sometimes childish), then come to our rehearsals in the School of Music Tuesdays at 17.00-19.00.
