Hello fans and followers! We wanted to start 2021 off first by saying IT IS OFFICIAL! We are on Instagram now, too! Be sure to follow us #millcreekbrassyeg Starting our first official Instagram post with what we are calling our "Meet our Members Moday" series. Remember this picture from our distanced get together back in September? We'd like to introduce you to the ever amazing Rachel!... Rachel started with studying piano even dabbling in playing the trombone and euphonium for a while while in high school. After spending many years enjoying her children’s concerts, Rachel thought she could learn trumpet, too. In her 50s she has made learning trumpet her retirement project and is now enjoying playing in concerts of her own. When Rachel is not playing the trumpet or cornet she can be found in the curling rink, on the ski hill, on her bicycle, or at her farm in Nova Scotia. Stayed tuned for more!

We would like to wish you all a Happy New Year! Please enjoy this version of Auld Lang Syne sung and performed by our very own bass trombonist! We hope to see you all very soon!
