INTRODUCING ARBELLA BRASS

We are very excited to announce we have put together a performance ensemble, or “concert corps” that will meet 2-3 times a month with the aim to perform at such venues as Fenway Park and other cool events.

We are extremely fortunate to have  one of the best instructors in Drum Corps leading our ensemble –  Donnie MacTaggart.   We will be learning new music, with a focus on taking our musical skills to new heights!

Members must be committed to self-improvement including practicing at home or organizing sectionals! 

 

This group is going to be unlike any other alumni corps around!
Please join us and help spread the word!

We will need your email address to connect members to Google Classroom where music will be distributed.
Members should also friend Lauren Poussard to be added to our private Facebook Group for group notifications.

NEXT REHEARSAL

**Thanks to Covid, TBA.
In the interest of keeping everyone safe, we will be postponing rehearsals until we’ve established herd immunity…or we’ve all gotten it.  …whichever is first lol.

STAY SAFE EVERYONE, AND STAY TUNED!
