Theatre, Ithaca College Symphonic Band. The members of the Barefoot Brass Quintet are currently in their Junior year, majoring in Music at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York. The quintet, consisting of two trumpets, a french horn, a trombone, and a tuba, represents each member of the brass family. Our program introduces each brass instrument in a fun and familiar way. We help children to realize their daily encounters with the brass family through familiar songs, classical literature, and popular television and movie themes.
Children often look to older kids as role models, rather than to parents or to teachers.
It is for this reason that the Barefoot Brass has a great impact. We are still students, and each member began his respective instrument in grade school. Due to our class schedule at Ithaca College, the Barefoot Brass is only available for travel during college breaks. Below is a list of the break schedule for the 1997-1998 academic year. Below are the names of references who have seen our program and are available for questions.
