Salt River Brass on YouTube


I am back with the Salt River Brass this weekend for their holiday concerts, so the release of this promotional video on YouTube for the group is especially timely.

I am in the group in the video, which was filmed last year, with several views of me to be seen! Check out the video, this really is one of the best community bands in the country.

    Observations from a marketing neophyte. According to some marketing experts, negative advertising works.
