The Youth Brass Orchestra gives concerts where you can hear the traditional wind orchestra repertoire as well as classical and popular music. Among the pieces the orchestra has recently rehearsed are Dvořák’s Polonaise from the opera Rusalka and the Polonaise in E-flat major. The orchestra’s popular repertoire is even broader: it plays medleys of the best-known songs by Frank Sinatra and Glenn Miller, the finest South American rhythms, a medley of melodies from Walt Disney films, Bohemian Rhapsody by Freddie Mercury, a medley of hits by pop legends ABBA, and songs by Michael Jackson, Madonna and others. During concerts, these pieces alternate with light dance music, to which the majorettes perform.
In addition to concerts, the Youth Brass Orchestra and the majorettes also take part in parades, where you can hear the orchestra’s march repertoire.
