Rocky Mountain Brassworks consists of approximately 35 players on brass and percussion instruments. There are no woodwinds. All the music (except for the bass trombone) is written in treble clef, making the transition from one part to another easier for players.
The repertoire is very flexible, consisting of original works, orchestral transcriptions, marches, Broadway show tunes, hymn tunes, and novelty numbers. Except for trombones, all instruments are conical in design, producing a mellow, rich sound that has a wide dynamic and coloristic variety. The two or three percussionists are sometimes called upon to play as many as twenty different instruments.
