Innovative Brass Band Podcast licensed by ASCAP

Featuring
West Bay Community Band from California

www.brasscast.com 

For Immediate Release May 11 - Brasscast, the weekly brass band podcast from the USA is this week featuring the West Bay Community Band from California.

Podcasting involves the creation of radio-style programs on a wide range of topics, including music and audio commentary, which are posted on the Internet for downloading to a listener’s own iPod or MP3 player. The basic idea is that instead of listening to radio shows over the airwaves, a listener can download the shows that they are really interested in, and listen to them when they want. Brasscast music is licensed through The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.

Musical numbers played by the band include numbers played by the bands include

  • Black Horse Troupe (Hiller Museum Concert 2.17/07) by Sousa
  • Circus Days  (Live at Hiller 2/15/08) Karl L. King arranged by Loras Schiseel
  • Folk Song Suite first Movement by composer Ralph Vaughan Williams
  • Folk Song Suite Last Movement by composer Ralph Vaughan Williams
  • Within These Hallowed Halls (Live at Hiller 2/15/08) By James Swearingen

These numbers are interspersed with banding snippets and news about brass bands.
