MBI's creative team is always seeking to improve the design and execution of the corps performance. This year the pursuit of excellence meant giving the 2008 field show a new title and visual identity.

Minnesota Brass is proud to present our 2008 program entitled "Connection." Feeling connected to something is essential in all of our lives. This connection can be between two people, a person and their passion, or a performer and an audience. Connection is everywhere, it sparks us, and it gives life meaning. In 2008 MBI will be exploring four faces of Connection with the music of Horace Silver, Astor Piazzolla, Sting, and Chick Corea. Enjoy our 2008 production of "Connection."

Be sure to check out the debut performance of "Connection" at Drum Beauty in Stillwater, MN on June 22, 2008.

The corps is under the leadership of Ann Jones.
