What's New

On Hiatus - Unfortunately, Champaign Brass is taking a break from performing. You can still see several of its members individually in musical venues throughout Illinois. We will post further news here as things change. Thank you for your continued well wishes and support.

Brush With Fame - The local University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign happens to be short on trumpet professors. The community and UIUC are very fortunate to have Ronald Romm, long time member of the Canadian Brass and world renowned trumpeter, shouldering some of this responsibility as a visiting professor. When he heard of Champaign Brass, he graciously agreed to give us a quintet lesson. We're still digesting all that transpired on that wonderful evening, but if all the autographs aren't proof enough, here's a picture of all of us after his thorough workout.
