BOOKING
& FAQS

All community outreach performances are completely free. Whitman Brass is a student-led organization committed to bringing live brass music to the DMV community at no cost. We do not charge for performances.

The performance space must be fully sheltered from direct sunlight and precipitation. This means a covered pavilion, a stage with a roof, or an indoor facility. This requirement protects our students' sensitive acoustic brass instruments — it is non-negotiable.

We recommend submitting your request at least 3–4 weeks before your event date. This allows us time to confirm student availability, arrange transportation, and prepare appropriate repertoire for your occasion.

Our repertoire spans classical brass literature, contemporary arrangements, popular covers, and seasonal holiday music. We tailor our setlist to match the tone and audience of your event. Let us know if you have specific requests.

Standard performances run 45–60 minutes. For longer events, we can arrange multiple sets with breaks. Please specify your preferred duration in the special notes field when submitting your booking request.

Yes — we perform at private gatherings, celebrations, and receptions in addition to public community events. The same guidelines apply: the venue must have covered shelter, and all performances are free of charge.

Absolutely. While we cannot guarantee every request, we will do our best to incorporate your preferences into the program. Please list any specific songs or genres in the special notes section of the booking form.
