They are a “cornet band” because the instruments they play (with the exception of percussion and occasional trombones) all come from the “saxhorn” family (conical brass). Like the modern British brass band, they use cornets (not trumpets) and alto horns with upright bells (not French horns), tenor horns (also with upright bells), baritone horns, and tubas.</p><p>The music is a lot of fun, too: Verdi opera medleys from Nabucco and Atilla, old time serenades, waltzes, and marches.</p><p>The Newberry Band was started in 2003 by Michael O’Connor, a musicologist and euphonium soloist who is currently on the faculty at Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida.
