Help the Crossroads Brass Band Sound Its Best - For Everyone

Since 2012, The Crossroads Brass Band has brought bold, brilliant brass band music to Indiana and beyond. Over the past few years, our growth has been exponential - and so has our reach. We have performed at the Indiana Music Educators Association Conference, the North American Brass Band Association Championships, the Dublin Festival of Brass, and the Gettysburg Brass Band Festival. We’ve even shared the stage with world-class soloists like Ashley Hall-Tighe (formerly of the Canadian Brass and current Principal Trumpet of the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra,) and our commitment to musical excellence has never been stronger.

But excellence requires investment. And right now, we need your help!

We’ve recently received an $8,000 grant from the Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation - a generous gift that brings us halfway to purchasing a high-quality set of timpani. These instruments are essential to our sound, especially as we explore more diverse and advanced repertoire. But to complete the purchase, we need to match the grant by raising $8,000 from our community by September 30.

Why Does This Matter?

• We’re growing fast. Our members span all ages and backgrounds. As our musical ensemble matures, so does our musical ambition.

• We’re reaching wider. Our mission now includes bringing high-quality brass band music to underserved communities across Indiana through free concerts, outreach partnerships and educational programs.

• We’re building a legacy. With proper equipment, our performances can better serve schools,cultural festivals, and new audiences.

Your donation will directly support the purchase of a professional timpani set - not just for Crossroads Brass Band performances, but for the communities we reach. Whether you are a music lover, an educator, a student, or someone who simply believes in the arts, your support makes this possible!
