Presidential Brass Quintet

The Valdosta State University Student Brass Quintet was formed to provide a challenging outlet for outstanding brass students. The ensemble is open to music majors by audition. The quintet performs a wide variety of music and presents concerts at community events, area schools, and on campus at Valdosta State University. In addition, the quintet performs for the graduation ceremonies at Valdosta State University.  The group was renamed in 2006 due to their continued performances for all graduation ceremonies and at other important university events.  This group recently performed for the state MTNA collegiate chamber music competition in the fall of 2006.
