Six musicians, no cables, and the sound of live brass carrying across an open lawn.

Everything before and after the vows is carried by music. Here is where we fit.
Prelude

AS GUESTS ARRIVE
Warm, unhurried music while people find their seats and greet each other. Long enough to cover late arrivals, quiet enough to talk over.
Processional

AS YOU WALK IN
The moment everyone turns around for, and the one brass was made for. We watch you, not a metronome, so the music fits the walk.

AS YOU WALK BACK OUT
You leave married. We send you and everyone behind you out loud and grinning.
And afterward, we are glad to stay on through cocktail hour with something lighter while your guests find a drink and the photographer finds the good light.

Most of the beautiful places to marry around Shasta County are fields, gardens, riverbanks, and barns. Places with a long extension cord at best. A brass quintet does not need any of it. We arrive, we stand where you point, and we play. No cables across the lawn, no speaker stands in your photographs, and nothing that quits when the power does.
SIX MUSICIANS
Two trumpets, French horn, trombone, tuba, and percussion.
FULLY ACOUSTIC
No PA, no power, no soundcheck. Indoors or out.
BOOKED WELL AHEAD
We hold dates far in advance and work to your coordinator's timeline.
