BIG HORN BRASS (BHB): Founded in 1983, the professional performers of BHB include thirteen brass and two percussionists, the finest you will hear anywhere. They combine their diverse musical skills and love of music with exacting perfection from each element in their repertoire.  Programs may include movie themes from Disney and composer John Williams, Beatles tunes, classical, romantic, renaissance, ragtime, marches, brass band, patriotic, civil war, contemporary, original, and even big band charts. We also feature commissioned works that are original, unique, and fun.

But Big Horn Brass is best known for our Holiday-Christmas show. This annual concert typically includes original arrangements from the Stan Kenton Library; unique and compelling arrangements by Oregon’s Phil Neuman and Washington’s William Berry; traditional favorites for classical brass by Leroy Anderson and James Burden, soaring melodies by movie composer Jerry Fielding; and engaging performances by one of our outstanding jazz vocalists.

CANBY JAZZ BAND: Led by Nick Luchterhand, the Canby High Jazz Band has competed and received high marks at many Oregon competitions, often finishing in or near the top on a consistent basis.  “It’s a very special group of students,” Luchterhand reports. “Competition is not everything, but it’s a tangible mark of success, and a tangible mark that these kids are getting a quality music education, which is the most important thing to me.” In addition to his teaching at Canby High School, he is also a saxophone player in the Portland area, and a full time doctor of music education student at Liberty University. As a student growing up in nearby communities, Nick has fond memories of having performed as a student here in Charbonneau.
