Brassband 1e divisie
Bio
The Oakland University Brass Band, formed in September of 2009, enjoys the
distinction of being one of the few collegiate brass bands in the country. The
members of the group come from across the United States and Canada. Among
their international accolades, the band was named the University Section winners of
the 2021 Kapitol Cory Online Brass Band Championships. This past year, they were
the second place winners of the First Section of North American Brass Band
Association Championships. In 2019 and 2018, they swept all three categories of
Best March, Best Slow Melody and Best Major Work of the Dublin (Ohio) Festival of
Brass. In 2018, adjudicator Steven Mead commented that “it was wonderful to hear
such an authentic ‘English’ sound to the ensemble - rich, textured and
homogeneous and the performance of ‘Essence of Time’ in particular was a joy.” In
2015 they accepted an invitation to travel to England to perform in the Butlin’s
National Mineworkers Open Brass Band Festival & Competition. While there, the
band was awarded 2nd place in their division holding the distinction of being the
highest placing American band in the history of the competition.
