About Us
The Five Lakes Silver Band is a nationally acclaimed British-style Brass Band based in Royal Oak, Michigan, composed of brass and percussion musicians. The name ‘Five Lakes Silver Band’ is a tribute to the brass band traditions of England and the region where we perform most: the area surrounding the Great Lakes, including Michigan, the Mid-Western US, as well as Southern Ontario, Canada. The term ‘Silver Band’, historically refers to bands who were equipped with silver-plated brass instruments (as opposed to lacquered brass) typically implying a more accomplished band.
Mission
The mission of the Five Lakes Silver Band is to strive for musical excellence in performance, education and entertainment while continuing the British Brass Band tradition of contesting.
Vision
To achieve and maintain the status as one of the leading brass bands in the world while developing, growing and enriching the next generation of brass band artists and audiences.
