Youth Band Camp - 2026 Registration Now Open
The Houston Brass Band is thrilled to announce that our annual Youth Brass Band Camp is returning this summer. We invite all enthusiastic young brass and percussion musicians to join us for an unforgettable week of music-making, intensive learning, and fun.
Led by our Executive Director of Youth Programs, the world-renowned Russell Gray, this intensive long weekend experience offers students a dedicated environment to refine ensemble techniques and explore challenging repertoire under professional mentorship.
Participants will also work closely with professional musicians from the Houston Brass Band in masterclasses, sectionals, and full ensemble rehearsals, culminating in a final performance. This is the perfect chance to immerse yourself in the unique sound and repertoire of the British Brass Band tradition!
