concert band
Brass and woodwinds
A concert band is a large ensemble of woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments that performs seated on a stage rather than marching.
Unlike orchestras, concert bands typically have no string section beyond the occasional double bass.
They perform classical arrangements, original wind ensemble compositions, and popular music in schools, communities, and professional settings.
The concert band rehearses twice a week in the auditorium.
