Territorial Brass

November 15 (Sunday), 6:00 p.m., Sanctuary, Free

TERRITORIAL BRASS was formed in February 1987 to perform at Territorial Days for the Mesa Southwest Museum and was quickly recognized by museums across Arizona as an entertaining living history resource. Dressed in turn-of-the-century costume (modeled after the Prescott and Bisbee brass bands), TERRITORIAL BRASS recaptures the golden age of the American town band. This twelve member ensemble specializes in 19th century American brass band music, playing authentic arrangements from 1835, through the Civil War, to Arizona's year of statehood. Popular songs of the period are rendered by a soprano vocalist and the program is narrated from the perspective of a young lady living in Arizona Territory in 1897. For indoor concerts, the music program incorporates slides of vintage photographs of Arizona bands and daily life in the territory, and includes a "follow-the-bouncing-ball" sing-along. To learn more, the Library of Congress has an excellent overview of the American Brass Band Movement.
