Attention all KC area middle/high/college students. The 2024 Brass Expo is getting close.

The Expo is a great way to introduce new members to the brass band genre and the Fountain City Youth Brass Academy. Brass and percussionists of all ages and abilities are invited to participate in a FREE day of rehearsals and clinics culminating in a side-by-side concert with the award-winning Fountain City Brass Band.

In 2024, the Brass Expo will be bigger and better than ever. The event will span two weekends packed with thrilling performances and interactive sessions. On Sunday, September 15, students will have the unique opportunity to join Fountain City Brass Band members in rehearsals and clinics at St. James Academy. And that’s not all! On Sunday, September 22, those who attended the first weekend can showcase their skills and join the Fountain City Brass Band in a concert under the baton of none other than the world-renowned composer and conductor Johan de Meij, as well as perform with Grammy-nominated, international trombone superstar, Marshall Gilkes. The venue for the concert is the stunning Folly Theater, located in the heart of downtown Kansas City.

The Fountain City Brass Band’s 2024/2025 season

The Fountain City Brass Band’s 2024/2025 season is now LIVE! Upcoming performances include appearances at the Longs Peak Scottish Irish Highland Festival in Estes Park, CO, Extreme Makeover: Music of Johan de Meij at the Missouri Theatre in downtown St. Joe / The Folly Theatre in downtown Kansas City, and The US Masters Brass Band Entertainment Competition at the Midwest Trust Center in Overland Park, KS.

What a fantastic way to wrap up the 2023-2024 concert season by performing alongside the fantastic William Baker Festival Singers and the inimitable organist Jan Kraybill in Kansas City’s world-class Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts for the opening concert of the NPM National - National Association of Pastoral Musicians! We think one attendee put it best by saying someone should start a GoFundMe to replace the roof at the Kauffman Center because it was just blown off!! Sharing the stage with these iconic Kansas City musical institutions was an honor and privilege.

The band’s next performance in Kansas City will take place in the historic Folley Theater on Sunday, September 22, at 3:00 PM and will feature the music of Johan de Meij and one of the world’s finest trombonists, Marshall Gilkes. Tickets go on sale August 1st.

The full 2024-2025 concert season schedule release is just around the corner, so make sure to like and follow this page for the latest updates.

Thank you to everyone who attended a Fountain City Brass Band event this year, both at home and abroad. We look forward to seeing you in September!
