Music City & Pickett Brass
This past weekend marked another big stride forward for the Music City Brass. We are proud to announce our partnership with Pickett Brass as our mouthpiece provider for this year. We also owe continued thanks to KHS America for our latest shipment of baritones, beginning a shift in our low brass instrumentation. Brass Caption Head Tom Lukowicz, “Peter Pickett and his team have been creating mouthpieces that perfectly match the needs of the Jupiter line of marching brass for the last decade. What can we say about KHS, they have been steadfast supporters of Music City from Day 1, and continue to believe in Music Education and the mission of Music City. We believe these changes in equipment will make an immediate positive impact on the member experience and their performance level.”
Additionally, Music City has partnered with MakeMusic Cloud to aid in preparing for our June 1 move-in date. Dr. Lukowicz notes, “Our hornline has been utilizing custom practice tracks during the offseason to great success. Adding MakeMusic to our educational process just allows us to continue the upward trajectory we’ve already experienced during the early season.”
Music City Drum Corps was founded first as a Drum Corps International Open Class competitive drum corps. The inaugural corps in 2009 had 47 members that performed in seven shows in the Mid-South and Midwest en route to the Drum Corps International Open Class Championships in Michigan City, Indiana. Music City was approved in 2017 to move into World Class and had their first summer tour as a competitive World Class drum corps in 2018.
