Brass Section for Hire

I’m an artist and sometimes need to hire brass players for shows, videos and studio sessions. The Brass Core is my go-to first call every time I need horns. They learn the songs perfectly, show up with tons of enthusiasm, ideas, discipline, great practice etiquette and they even chart out the songs just in case I would ever have to replace them when they’re busy with other gigs. Their technical skills are top tier with backgrounds in the most prestigious musical organizations. At this point I wouldn’t hire anyone else unless I absolutely had to.
