Brass bands are all very well in their place - outdoors and several miles away.
-- Sir Thomas Beecham
I couldn't agree more. (Except it might be better to have them indoors, several miles away.)
Some people think rock music is noisy. And I think it's a paradox that many of the same people like brass bands. Those are noisy. Last time I was at an event with a live brass band, I had to leave. Man they were loud.
Update: this is funny: the very minute I posted this, somebody emailed me this.
I'm aware that jazz and brass isn't the same thing, but when I have seen jazz bands (lousy stuff in festivals here and Copenhagen) they usually have a trumpet in them and are noisy, so there seems to be an overlap.
