Founded in 1998, Festive Brass unites volunteer musicians with the Myrtle Beach community and the Grand Strand to honor our veterans— both past and present — at ceremonial events. Our performances are steeped in America's rich musical heritage, featuring traditional marches, patriotic tunes, military service anthems, big band hits, and more. Beyond ceremonial occasions, we also present themed seasonal concerts and beloved Christmas performances throughout the region, offering free public admission to our music concerts.
Join us for a heartfelt Festive Brass Memorial Day Concert honoring veterans, Gold Star families, and active service members with powerful works like Ashokan Farewell and Eulogy for the Fallen. Be inspired and uplifted. Learn more here.
The Festive Brass proudly enters its 27th year of providing music for the City of Myrtle Beach’s Memorial Day Ceremony on Monday, May 26, at 10:30 a.m. at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. Learn more here.
