About
The Ceremonial Trumpets serve as our uniformed fanfare ensemble for patriotic and special occasions. Modeled from the US Army Herald Trumpets, the ensemble includes melody, tenor, and bass fanfare trumpets with percussion as needed. Traditionally used to announce royalty, fanfare trumpets produce a more brilliant, strident sound. Performances typically include 5-7 trumpeters and a drummer.
