Contact: Mike Greife
WARRENSBURG, MO (Feb. 1, 2008) – UCM's Friends of Music Society brings Kansas City’s Fountain City Brass Band to Hendricks Hall at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 10 for another exciting performance of the 2007-2008 season.
Traditional Brass with a Varied Repertoire
A professional arts ensemble founded in Kansas City, MO, in 2002, the Fountain City Brass Band is molded in the tradition of the traditional British brass band. Its repertoire consists of music from Broadway to military marches and the big band era to highly technical, flashy and fun test pieces of brass band literature.
FCBB is 2007 champion of the North American Brass Band Association Competition and was the first American group invited to participate in the All England Masters International Brass Band Championships, staged in May 2007 at Cambridge, England. The group wrapped up a successful year by also capturing the championship title at the U.S. Open Brass Band Championships.
