Dallas Youth Brass Band

The Dallas Brass Band is committed toward nurturing the next generation of brass and percussion musicians of North Texas by fostering a passion for excellence and a lifelong appreciation for the brass band tradition. To this end, the Dallas Brass Band has created the Dallas Youth Brass Band to provide an unparalleled educational experience, mentorship from our accomplished musicians, and a supportive community where young artists can develop their skills, creativity, and musical leadership. Through our devotion to artistic growth and personal development, we aim to create a vibrant and inclusive environment that celebrates and enriches the cultural fabric of our region.​​

Middle school and high school students of all levels and ages are encouraged to register. We intend to have separate dedicated ensembles for middle school and high school students.

 

Included in students' tuition are multiple masterclasses with DFW's leading professional musician-educators as well as a separate Mass Band clinic and concert experience for all youth band registrants under the baton of acclaimed brass band conductor, Michael Garasi, ensuring an exceptionally well-rounded educational experience for each student.​​​
