A component group of the Band of Mid-America, their performance repertoire spans five centuries, from the glorious antiphonal sounds of the Renaissance to the rich diversity of American musical styles. Whether a military march, jazz standard, or an original arrangement of patriotic favorites each Airlifter Brass program is thoughtfully planned for a blend of inspiration and entertainment. Their repertoire has universal appeal and includes special programming for younger audiences. This ensemble not only performs in concert halls and civic events but also adds a distinctive presence to official military ceremonies and events of state.
