Formed in 1996, the Chesapeake Silver Cornet Brass Band is comprised of amateur and professional musicians from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware. Following the brass banding tradition, we are an all-volunteer organization.
The band performs a varied repertoire of contemporary and traditional brass band music throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
