The Denver Street Band Experience Details
What is The Denver Street Band Experience?
The Denver Street Band Experience is a full day event that celebrates the rich and diverse world of street band music and performance. The event is hosted by Augustana Arts and local brass band sensation, Guerrilla Fanfare. The day is designed to expose participants to genre diverse music often heard in the street band & brass band world, as well as give them the opportunity to perform alongside some of Denver's top brass band ensembles and professional musicians in a public concert.
Who is this program intended for?
This program is intended for students that have at least a couple of years of performing experience and are in 8th-12th grade - intermediate level and higher. The instruments we will have specific coachings for are: sax, trumpet, trombone, tuba, and percussion. Students who perform other instruments may join if you feel they are a good fit for this program, but there will not be coachings devoted to other instruments - please reach out to discuss specific student needs/other instrument possibilities.
What to expect:
The Denver Street Band Experience is an educational and collaborative learning and performance opportunity for your students, to share in the power of street band music. The day involves a morning of coachings for participating students led by professional performers from some of Denver’s leading brass and street bands and then a public-facing collaborative side-by-side performance with these bands in the afternoon.
