Listening to live music, in addition to being an enjoyable experience, is a worthwhile experience educationally. All River City Youth Brass Band musicians are strongly encouraged to attend as many performances by as many ensembles as possible. It's a growth experience for the listener, and with all the effort in preparation for a performance, it's nice to have a large audience. Here you will find information on upcoming performances by various ensembles. Go see a show. You might find a new ensemble, a new composer, a new style of music, even a new soloist you really enjoy!
