Puget Brass is a local British brass band that performs traditional and contemporary literature throughout the Pacific Northwest. From school teachers to Boeing engineers, truck drivers to entrepreneurs, the group brings together 30 community brass and percussion musicians to perform this genre of music.
Puget Brass was formed in 1999, inspired by the movie, Brassed Off, based on a modern-day English mining town and its brass band. The band members' camaraderie combined with the movie's stirring renditions of songs such as Danny Boy and Floral Dance served as a template for Puget Brass.
Puget Brass players volunteer their time and efforts to perform for and educate the general public about the unique sound of traditional British brass band music. The Band is available for hire throughout the year and have a varied repertoire, ranging from brass band classics and marches to classical, jazz, and popular music.
