Music will be sent to each player in May 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 four-day rest period to ensure freshness and vitality for the group members. All round-trip travel, meals, and accommodations will be provided by The King's Brass for each concert location. Each new player will receive $300.00 a week (21 weeks total) with returning players receiving an additional $50.00 per week for each completed tour season.
