Brass & marching naming questions
What should we name our brass band?
A distinctive descriptor plus "Brass Band" or "Brass Collective" is clear and bookable. New Orleans second-line traditions are a great reference if you play that style.
Does this work for drumlines and school bands?
Yes. Try names with "Drumline", "Pep Band" or "Drum & Bugle Corps", and pick imagery that suits a school mascot.
