Texas Brass Fest 2024

Post by jtm »

It’s the second annual Texas Brass Fest in Round Top, TX, May 25, 2024. Enough people liked it last year to try again, I guess. This year, there will also be some small ensembles outside between the four main bands.

My band will be playing movie music this time, which I hope will be more fun for a wider audience than some of the competition-style music.

This weekend! Looks like the weather will be okay. I wish I could say there's an option to watch online, but pretty sure there's not.

There will be some small ensembles outdoors between bands, for ambience. I'll be in my first ever tuba quartet. I love small groups/chamber music, but the last time I played any in public was on bassoon, so this should be fun.

One more thing: this is your last chance to see @Mikelynch play with the Austin Brass Band.

Mike was helpful, generous, and welcoming when I stomped in three years ago with my little C tuba to play Eb parts, and it’s sad to say farewell. I learned a lot from Mike (including how to avoid getting an Eb tuba).

Is Texas Brass Fest at the same location each year?

It has been in Round Top for the last two years. There are discussions currently about each band taking a turn hosting it in their city, with Dallas possibly going first in March 2025.
