About UsThe Five Lakes Silver Band is a nationally acclaimed British style Brass Band based in Royal Oak, Michigan, comprised 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.
