Dallas Brass Band

Music Director: Grant Jameson

The Dallas Brass Band was formed in 2017 as an outreach project of the Salvation Army, with the organization providing a rehearsal venue and equipment. The band is based in the British brass band tradition and consists of over 30 members.

The current band is made up of members from a variety of musical backgrounds, with many coming out of the Salvation Army banding tradition, as well as a number of universities in Dallas including the University Of North Texas, Texas Woman's University, and Southern Methodist University.

The band has had the opportunity to perform with Dr. David Childs, Jens Lindemann (Canadian Brass), Owen Farr (International Horn Soloist), Elmer Churampi (Dallas Symphony Orchestra), Thomas Hulten (Houston Grand Opera), and Charlie Green (Britain's Got Talent). The band has performed across the DFW Metroplex, including the Murchison Performing Arts Center, The Dallas Arboretum, and the Ed Landreth Auditorium. In 2022, the band was invited to give a clinic and performance at the Texas Music Educators Association Conference. The band was named 1st Section Champions at NABBA in 2022 and was nominated for the “Lower Section Band Of The Year” award by the brass band website “4BarsRest” the same year. The band currently competes in the Championship Section at NABBA.

The band’s current leadership is Principal Conductor Grant Jameson, formerly conducted by Dr. David Childs and Dr. Daniel Cook. Our mission is to provide high quality music making to the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex, and give brass players and percussionists an opportunity to experience a traditional British brass band setting.
