Haug Brass Band
The history of Haug Brass Band
The sosial aspect of being together has made us all good friends. Many of the musicians have been participating from the beginning. After some time, we got our musical supporting players. With their help, the musical expressiveness of the band has been raised to a new level. The discipline and skilll of the supporting players have been a great inspiration for our musicians. It is a case reversed integration that has been a good experience for all of us. Several supporting players have also acted as assisting conductors. Several students from the Norwegian Academy og Music have been helping us, and thereby gained valueble experience for their studies. The band has always made an effort to be visible in the local environment. We have had concerts in churches, festivals, Christmas arrangments, representations, and in participation with other bands and choirs. We have travelled a lot and have had concerts in France, Spain and on the Faroe Islands. Our repertoire has always been specially arranged for this band, but its basic can be found in both popular music as well as traditional janissary music.
