Organization's Profile
The Oakland Brass Band was founded in 2006 by several local
musicians with the desire to provide Detroit area professional and
semi-professional musicians with an outlet for expressing their talent through
the brass band style and heritage. By October, 2006, a Board of Directors was created,
non-profit status was sought for the organization and a list of interested
musicians was developed. The Oakland Brass Band is now starting its third
concert season.

Concert Bands and the Berkley Chamber of Commerce.
