New Members

Gordon Ward and Motor City Brass Band are proud to introduce two new members of the ensemble. Brandon Thibault (above right) and Nathan Waak (above left) both joined MCBB as we kick off our 28th season. Congratulations and welcome, Brandon and Nathan!

Brandon plays the E-flat Bass (Tuba), an instrument originally intended to fill the gap between a Euphonium and the larger Bb Bass. They are commonly found in British Brass bands and some military bands. The instrument is also a good solo instrument that is more responsive and resonant than a Bb Bass.

Nathan plays Soprano Cornet, which is also somewhat unique to brass bands, providing higher-pitched, colorful ornamentation and solo work in brass band repertoire. Pitched in Eb, the soprano is a fourth higher, and slightly smaller in size, than the more common Bb cornet.
