HAMILTON TOWNSHIP – The Dallas Brass will perform 7 p.m. Thursday, March 8 at the George L. Hess Educational Complex, 700 Babcock Road.
The group last performed at the Hess School April 16, 2009 in a concert that included 225 band students from several local school districts.
This time students from Hamilton, Galloway, and Washington townships will join others from the Greater Egg Harbor Regional School District in performing with the Dallas Brass.
The concert, titled “American Musical Journey,” incorporates a full complement of brass and percussion for a musical travelogue through American history. The group will perform songs from the time of President George Washington to the present day.
“A Dallas Brass concert is intended for the entire family,” said Dallas Brass director Michael Levine, who founded the group in 1983. “Our goal is to entertain and enrich by playing great music.”
The group is comprised of Levine, who plays trombone, D.J. Barraclough and Chad Willis on trumpet, Juan Berrios on French horn and alto horn, Paul Carlson on tuba and Sergio Carreno on drums and percussion.
In addition to its solo engagements, the Dallas Brass appears with symphony orchestras nationwide. The group has shared the stage with Bob Hope, performed before Presidents Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush, and appeared on “The Morning Show” on CBS.
The group often presents clinics for band students and has published two books of original small-ensemble music for middle school and high students, “Brass Groove.”
Inviting students to join the band for a selection during a concert has become a Dallas Brass trademark.
