Instruments: bugles, trumpets, horns, trombones, baritones/euphoniums, tubas, the full saxophone family, and percussion (no woodwinds such as clarinets or flutes, unlike a concert band).
Sound: powerful, warm, clear, and transparent – ideal for both indoors and outdoors.
Origin: emerged in the mid-19th century from military (cavalry) orchestras and the British brass band tradition.
Popular in: the Netherlands, Belgium, and parts of Northern France.
Many amateur associations, but also a few professional ensembles (including those in the Defence Force).
In short: a fanfare is a vibrant, brass-rich orchestra with a typical HaFaBra character (Concert Band Fanfare Brass).
It plays repertoire ranging from marches and classical to modern and pop.
