Based in Fort Wayne, Ind., although its members are drawn from a three-state area, Old Crown Brass Band includes professional musicians from two major symphony orchestras, music educators, music industry professionals, and plain fun-loving amateurs. The idea for the band was conceived by a group of brass players who were inspired to name the band after a certain beverage brewed by the now-defunct, but oft-remembered, Centlivre Brewing Company – Old Crown Ale. A British Brass Band differs from other wind bands. Reed instruments (such as clarinets and saxophones) are excluded while certain brass wind instruments rarely found in other types of bands (flugelhorns, baritone and tenorhorns) are included.
