Standard Musical Selections

(Listed by Event Type)

All selections listed below are readily available in our music library and we would be happy to program any of these during your booking of the quintet.

Additionally, each contract provides for up to two selections that are not on this list (just send us a recording and/or sheet music and our staff arranger will transcribe the music for the group to perform).

If you need assistance choosing selections, call or email and let us know what your interests are for you and your guests. For example, one wedding couple loved Star Trek, so we arranged the Star Trek theme for their ceremony.

Lastly, if you would like to hear any particular selection, we invite you to join us at one of our rehearsals or Skype with us as we play through what you have chosen. YouTube can also be helpful if you simply need to hear what a particular tune sounds like.

Thank you for choosing Spectacle Brass, and we look forward to playing for you soon!
