Brassless Chaps

Brassless Chaps is an all q***r, antifascist brass band based in Portland and we're looking for new people to join us! We are looking for ANY AND ALL instruments to join us! There is no audition process or attendance expectations. Brassless Chaps is a collaborative band that was formed to bring joy to our communities through music. Our vision is to play at community events, protests for causes we support, parades and festivals! We have a few songs in our repertoire right now that take inspiration from other brass bands, as well as popular songs from various music genres. We're always open to new suggestions and ideas! We've been around for a month or two now and have so much fun getting to know one another at rehearsals. It's truly a space where q***r people can come together to play music, laugh, create and form new friendships! We start rehearsals by introducing ourselves, names, pronouns and an ice breaker question of sorts. After that, we all hang out over snacks that people bring to share, discuss band matters and just get to know each other. To sign up for email notifications for rehearsals please send us your email. We also communicate via Slack. We'd love to have you join us! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions
