Repertoire Highlights

One of the biggest benefits of Champaign Brass is the variety of music that we can bring to your event. Setting the right atmosphere is very important, and our wide selection enables you to do just that. If you like, a member of Champaign Brass will work with you to choose music to suit your occasion. Selections will usually be taken from among five musical styles:

This page lists only a fraction of available pieces, and our wedding music page lists some more. In all, there are over 150 compositions in our repertoire, and that number is constantly growing. If you don't see what you need here, ask about arrangement and transcription services, which are available for special music requests that you wish to include in your event.
