Welcome to Sonus Brass Theater!
Sonus Brass Theater is an all-age brass, percussion, and guard ensemble that combines the precision and tradition of the marching arts with the entertainment and excitement of a stage show.
In 2019, Sonus was a gold medalist and finished 3rd overall at the SoundSport International Festival in Indianapolis, IN competing against teams from the U.S., Canada, Ireland, Costa Rica, and Colombia. Post-Covid, Sonus resumed participation in DCI SoundSport in 2022 and received a Gold rating at the International Festival.
