The Lufkin Brass at the Texas State Forest Festival...

 The Lufkin Brass played the Texas State Forest Festival this year. It's not really our first gig as we have played at First Lutheran Church and St. Patrick's Catholic Church but it is the first one exposing ourselves to the general public. The music went well, reviews and compliments have been positive and the future looks bright for a quintet playing polkas, popular tunes and music appropriate to special occasions. 

You can tell we are a real band because we have that angry young men against a brick wall for one of our publicity photos.   

Ken is on trumpet, flugelhorn and cornet. 

Dwain is on cornet. 

Ross plays alto horn but is a versatile musician and can step in on French horn or baritone. 

John covers the baritone parts but is also a multi instrumentalist who has played trumpet, mellophone and is a capable woodwind player.   

Carl is on tuba. 

I think with the development of the downtown area and the coming designation of a state cultural district will bring about more opportunity for brass music.  

Our current practice schedule is focused on adding a few dixie land and ragtime tunes to the polka heavy repertoire. You can plan on the Lufkin Brass to be ready to roll out the barrel.
