It all started in a musty basement in Bucks County, PA. Three friends, had a common bond of being young and eager brass players.

Somewhere along the way, someone

suggested putting their talents together.  

Although the three friends were having a

great time,  3 part brass music is limiting

and hard to come by. Eventually, a fourth

member was added to fill out the

ensemble and expand their capabilities.

     Soon, this conglomeration was ready

for their premiere performance at Lenape

Middle School in Doylestown, PA. Of

course, any successful group needs a catchy name. After a brief deliberation, the Galena Brass seemed to be a natural fit. After our debut performance, the Galena Brass quartet began performing regularly in the Bux-Mont area. In the late 1990s, we even expanded to a 10-15 member marching band on occasion.

     Although performing in a quartet was fulfilling, we felt something was missing from our group. I guess you could say we needed a motor to push the ensemble to new heights. Therefore in 2006, a decision was made to add to a percussionist. Coincidentally, the Galena Brass has grown exponentially and has never looked back!
