Capital Brass! will once again put 2 parade units on the street, in 2011: Capital Brass! and SNAP!
Where the SNAP! jazz band was once merely an alter-ego for the mini-corps, the organization can now deliver two complete performing units, and already has several double dates on the calendar.
Woth a consolidation of personnel, the Brass-O-Mania! family of 4 distinct music groups will draw from a pool of over 30 tatented, hand-picked players, for all types of performances; making the 2011 edition the most dynamic and entertaining to date. All positions, including alternates, have been filled.
The parade season starts for CB! and SNAP! on March 12 & 13, in Hoosick Falls, and Kingston, NY, and many more are already booked.
A full schedule of events is continually updated at: www.capitalbrass.org.

Christmas Benefit Update
12/27/11
Final tally was over $4000.00 raised for families in need! And CB! will perform this concert again, in 2011, on Saturday, December 3rd, at 3:30 pm.
From the organizers, at St. Catherine's:
"I cannot thank everyone enough for making this concert so much more than we anticipated. It is unusual for anyone to arrive at work on Monday morning grinning from ear-to-ear, but that was what occurred this morning at St. Catherine's. Everyone was talking about the beautiful concert : the fabulous music by Capital Brass!
Rachel's moving remarks about her Mom, the number of people who came, and finally, the elegance and simplicity of the site and of the whole event.
But in addition to en enjoyable evening thank you all for helping to raise more than we dared to hope for to start the fund that will pay tribute to Bonnie forever! Bonnie surely remains the energizing force who motivates others to give to families in crisis. Thank you, Bonnie!
Again - it was a true pleasure to work with you all. Thank you. Joanne and Brian "

Sun. 1/2 – 4:00
Wed, 1/12 – 7:00

UAlbany features a Division I team growing in status each year; and having recently upset crosstown rival and regular NCAA-tournament participant, Siena College. Thanks to Kevin Champagne, UAlbany Pep Band Director, for thinking of us, for this opportunity!
This is not the first time that Capital Brass has been called on to fill in for a pep band. 2 years ago, Niagara College, here for the MAAC tournament, learned that their pep band was snowed in, back in Buffalo. CB! Was called on, ON SATURDAY MORNING, to fill in as their pep band,for THAT NIGHT. A fun time for all. And a good gig.
