| | The term "brass band" is not entirely accurate, since brass bands also normally include up to three percussion players who are called upon to play as many as twenty different instruments depending on the demands of the music. | | | All the brass music (with the exception of the bass trombone) is scored in treble clef, a characteristic that over the years has allowed for remarkable freedom among certain bands, making the transition from one instrument another somewhat easier. | | | Monarch Brass' vision is to display the special power, musicality, and lyrical sound so distinctive of a brass ensemble. |
