Our members are primarily working adults, but we also have a diverse group of individuals including elementary, junior high, high school, and university students.
With a professional teacher serving as an advisor, our band participates in competitions, holds regular concerts, performs at various events, and organizes local events. Our aim is to spread the joy of brass band music, enjoy music, and improve performance techniques through the joy of music.
