River’s Edge Brass Band:

---

The River's Edge Brass Band is a Cincinnati-based British Brass Band. The group’s initial focus is to compete in the North American Brass Band Association's annual competition. The Brass Band is staffed by some of Cincinnati's best brass and percussion players, most being professional musicians or teachers at local high schools or colleges. British Brass Bands conform to a unique and specific type of instrumentation, with Cornets taking the place of trumpets and tenor horns replacing French horns. The band also features a full percussion section.
