Though most performances have been in Ames, some have been elsewhere in Iowa and as far away as Illinois and Pennsylvania. Over 40 other ISU and local musicians have performed in Collegiate Brass. The majority of our repertoire is brass quintet music for the standard instrumentation of two trumpets, horn, trombone, and tuba. However, a significant portion of our music library is for other numbers and combinations of brass instruments, ranging from trios to octets and a few brass choir pieces. Our repertoire for weddings includes prelude selections, seating music, processionals, hymns, candle lighting music, recessionals, postludes, and reception music.
Selections range from trumpet solos and duets to brass quartets, quintets, and sextets.
A list of our more-commonly played selections is included below. If you have planned a specific piece of music that is not in our sheet music collection, we can order it for you. Also, in some cases when your specific selection has not been published, one of us can arrange it for our group to play in your wedding. Rehearsals for your wedding music begin with our regular weekly rehearsals starting several weeks before your wedding ceremony. We'll be at your scheduled wedding rehearsal to help refine the timing and length of the music we play and to help coordinate our playing with the other parts of the wedding ceremony.
