“I just received this recent announcement of dates and times of auditions for this amazing ensemble (The King’s Brass), and Mr. Zimmerman has asked me to share this with our readers”,
Greetings from The King’s Brass-
The group just finished their 2024 Christmas & 2025 January Tours. From Christmas at Mt. Hermon Conference in California to the Florida Premier of Dan Forrest’s Creation, at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Ft. Lauderdale, it was a tour to remember.
Please forward the attached 2025 Audition information to musicians who would be interested in joining The King’s Brass for the 2025-2026 Season. We value your recommendations.
Hope our paths will cross on future tours.
Thanks,
Tim
THE 2025-2025 KING’S BRASS AUDITIONS
Two Trumpets, Bass Trombone, Tuba & Percussion
The King’s Brass — three trumpets, three trombones, a tuba, keyboards and percussion —
“the best in brass.” From New York to Michigan, from Chicago to Florida, from Washington, DC
to Georgia — this 47th Anniversary Tour will lead audiences in concerts of worship and praise. We
are now looking for musicians who have a deep commitment to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Rehearsals: 5/30-6/5/25
Summer Tour: 6/6 – 8/17/25 (10x)
Christmas Tour: 12/3 – 12/21/25 (4x)
Florida: 1/3-25/26 (4x)
x-weekly pay (18 weeks total)
Music will be sent to each player in early April so that there will be plenty of time to learn
and memorize the program. In the middle of the summer tour, there will be a five-day rest period
(7/14-18/25) to ensure freshness and vitality for the group members. All round-trip travel, meals,
and accommodations will be provided by The King’s Brass to each concert location. Players will be
responsible for their own meals and travel expenses during the five-day rest period. Each new
player will receive $500.00 a week (18 weeks total) with returning players receiving an additional
$50.00 per week for each completed tour season.
Applications will be accepted until March 14, 2025, and should include a brief resume,
statement of personal faith in Jesus Christ, photo, audition CD (or electronic audio files), and three
references with phone numbers (to include local pastor). 2025-2026 King’s Brass members will be
notified by Wednesday, March 19, 2024. Please forward a solo piece, etude, excerpt, jazz selection
etc., of contrasting styles (no longer than 15 minutes) along with the requested excerpts posted on
our web site to The King’s Brass, Box 12347, Fort Wayne, IN 46863-2347 or email to
tzimmerman1@cs.com. It will be acceptable to resubmit recordings from past King’s Brass
auditions. We will be unable to return recordings.
For more information, please look at the group’s web site at kingsbrass.org, contact us at
