Grace UMC Brass Ensemble
The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the LORD and sang: “He is good; his love endures forever. Then the temple of the Lord was filled with the cloud, and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the temple of God. (2 Chronicles 5:13-14)
We hold our rehearsals on Thursday evenings from 7:30 – 8:30 pm in the Grace UMC choir room. Members should arrive NLT 7:15pm to set up, warm up and be ready to start at 7:30 pm.
Additionally, we typically hold rehearsals on the two Saturdays prior to our performances from 9 to 10:00 a.m. Members should arrive a few minutes prior in order to set up, warm up and be ready to start at 9:00 a.m.
See our Events Calendar for specific rehearsal and performance dates.
Interested in playing with our brass ensemble? Contact Us to set up a time to meet with you for an audition.
We perform a variety of hymns, classical pieces, as well as some more contemporary, upbeat songs. Our major performances occur during the Christmas and Easter holidays. Additional performances occur approximately quarterly throughout the year as part of morning worship services.
