The CSB has built a reputation for excellence and commitment to education, and our experience performing multi-day school residencies is the best example of that charge. Our multi-day residencies are more than a string of one-day visits, but a chance for us to engage entire communities in our teaching and performing. All multi-day residencies include a community concert either by The CSB alone or alongside the school band students. Not only do these longer visit afford all members in the community the chance to hear us perform, but they allow us to dig into more advanced concepts with music students.

With any CSB visit, each activity is carefully selected and planned in consultation with school music teachers. Multi-day visits allow many possibilities for schools and school districts, so feel free to share your wildest ideas with us and we'll do our best to make them happen! For more information about funding these extended visits, read more about our grant writing services or contact us directly to get started!

We love performing with others! After all, that's why we do what we do. We have performed as the "featured group" with bands from middle schools to uiversity wind ensembles and orchestras to excellent adult community bands. Generally, we perform a tune or two for brass quintet and band/orchestra and play a couple quick tunes on our own. This is a fun way for the community to hear The CSB without having to devote your entire concert program to us, and works particularly well as the "capstone" performance of a multi-day residency visit.

Think this is a cool idea but don't know where to start? We've played just about everything that's been published for brass quintet and "insert ensemble of varying skill level here", and our amazing horn player and arranger Tim Bradley has created several tunes for band, orchestra, and brass quintet (us) at different ability levels.

The staff of The CSB has had the pleasure of serving as panelists as arts entrepreneurs and speaking to college classes about the business side of what we do. We feel passionate about sharing our experiences with young musicians and educators and can provide our own perspective on many aspects of the arts and arts management. Our goal is to help aspiring musicians and educators be as prepared as possible for a career in the arts, contact us if you are interesting in setting up a visit.

We have presented sessions for high school and college students across the country. Contact Us today to talk about the needs of your program!
