2023 NABBA:
​CHAMPION SECTION,
​1ST PLACE WINNERS

The basis of their victory came on the set-work, with an outstanding rendition of Herman Pallhuber's 'Titan's Progress' packed with detail and purposeful impulse to secure a clean sweep of first place technical as well as artistic marks from judges Dr Howard Evans, Col (ret.) Thomas Palmatier and Allan Ramsay.
That performance was subsequently followed the next day with a solidly delivered rendition of their own-choice of 'On the Shoulders of Giants'.

​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.
