Each year, we bring to you a day of music-making, master classes, and performances, and we are excited to announce that the 2025 Brass Festival will showcase your hosts, the Wright State University Brass Faculty, and Tubist SSG Brandon Benson of the United States Army Band, Pershing’s Own.  

The day will include an all-day event open to all students with three or more years of playing experience and will include master classes, rehearsals, recital performances, and music vendors. Please see the schedule of events for further details. Additionally, this year’s festival will host a single division solo competition for high school students.
