Reception of the band&#8217;s performance and participation from those in attendance at the contest was overwhelming and extremely welcoming. Comments from the three adjudicators were also positive, encouraging and constructive.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The MUBB was formed in the spring of 2006 and is the only British-style university brass band in the state of Pennsylvania. The brass band movement in the U.S. has been dominated by amateur and community organizations for decades. Only over the past decade has there been a significant increase in colleges and universities implementing brass band programs. Rinnert says that the MUBB hopes to be an important part of this new trend.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe MUBB will continue to serve the university and local communities through regular performances each semester, both on and off campus, and at the December Commencement ceremony,\u201d Rinnert said. \u201cIf all goes according to plan, regular attendance at the NABBA contest will also be in the band&#8217;s future.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The MUBB will be presenting a performance of contest pieces, along with other brass band repertoire, solos, and chamber ensembles, at its final concert of the season, on Monday, April 27, 7:30 p.m. in Steadman Theatre. The concert is free and open to the public.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stay up-to-date on the MUBB on Facebook at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MansfieldUniversityBrassBand\" target=\"_blank\">facebook.com\/MansfieldUniversityBrassBand<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANSFIELD, PA\u2014 In its first ever competition, the Mansfield University Brass Band (MUBB), under the direction of Nathan Rinnert, took &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/munews.mansfield.edu\/?p=545\" class=\"more-link\"><span class=\"more-button\">Continue reading &gt;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Brass Band Takes Second Place at Championships<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6V0yH-8N","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":519,"url":"https:\/\/munews.mansfield.edu\/?p=519","url_meta":{"origin":545,"position":0},"title":"Brass Band to Compete at Championships","author":"Terry Day","date":"March 2, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"MANSFIELD, PA\u2014 The Mansfield University Brass Band, under the direction of Nathan Rinnert, will compete at the North American Brass Band Championships in Fort Wayne, IN on March 13-14.On Friday, March 13, Mansfield will be represented by two soloists, Dylan Krall on tenor horn and Marissa Pattison on euphonium, a\u2026","rel":"","context":"Similar post","block_context":{"text":"Similar post","link":""},"img":{"alt_text":"MU Brass Band 2014-15","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mansfieldu.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/MU-Brass-Band-2014-15-1024x338.jpg?resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mansfieldu.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/MU-Brass-Band-2014-15-1024x338.jpg?resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mansfieldu.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/MU-Brass-Band-2014-15-1024x338.jpg?resize=525%2C300 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":650,"url":"https:\/\/munews.mansfield.edu\/?p=650","url_meta":{"origin":545,"position":1},"title":"Brass Band in Concert on April 27","author":"Terry Day","date":"April 17, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"MANSFIELD, PA\u2014The Mansfield University Brass Band (MUBB), under the direction of Nathan Rinnert, will perform in concert on Monday, April 27, 7:30 p.m. in Steadman Theatre.
