Golden State British Brass Band

The Golden State British Brass Band, a non-profit, community organization, was founded in 1996 by Penny Dodd and Norm & Linda Taylor, and endeavors to rehearse, perform, and record music written and arranged in the traditional British Brass Band style. The band attracts its membership from all over the greater Los Angeles, California, USA region.

Here is a list of our musicians. We also have a photo album. Our history is summarized on this page.

The band normally rehearses on the second and fourth Sundays of each month, and performs at various venues 8-10 times annually. See the schedule page for more details, times, and directions.
