Saturday's music is in two blocks for music of your choosing. We encourage you to attend the entire day for the whole variety, but you can check the schedule and hear what you want to hear. The 1st block is more traditional brass band music with wind ensemble, British brass band, big band, and brass quintet.

The 2nd block is for more eclectic brass groups featuring funk, soul, hip-hop, bhangra, and jazz fusion.
