brass

The 2012 Cascades Brass is continuing its promotion of building a strong and unified group with an emphasis on personal excellence.

If you are looking to perform with the Cascades Brass, we encourage you to look over the following information.

The Cascades is a premier drum and bugle corps and this is due to the great people involved. All members should have respect for themselves and others as we are a team of hard working individuals. Strong work ethics, moral character and personal traits are essential in becoming the best drum corps that we possibly can be.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Brass Caption Head, Steve Menefee or Manager Zack Smith.
