The Triangle Brass Band Foundation
The Triangle Brass Band was formed originally in 1986 as a joint venture of Capitol Broadcasting and the AJ Fletcher Foundation. This venture created a British-style brass band addition to our central North Carolina community, and has filled a unique cultural and educational purpose in the lives of musicians and audiences ever since.
Now celebrating its 40th anniversary season, the band has grown to more than 120 players across one adult band, three youth bands and a youth percussion ensemble. Between innumerable and varied concert experiences, multiple national championships, bringing world-renowned guest artists and bands to the area, and enriching the lives of hundreds of youth and adult musicians, it has more than served the mission its founders envisioned.

The Foundation Fund
The organization looks forward to serving the local community for many years to come. With that in mind, the Foundation Fund was created in 2019. In honor of the original members — five of whom are still playing — the Fund seeks to establish a financial foundation that continues the mission of the group for decades to come.
Gifts to the Foundation Fund are added to its principal balance, with the intent that the proceeds of the Fund’s investments will support the organization’s ongoing needs. Think of a gift here as paying forward: it supports the band in perpetuity, not just this season.
What the Fund can accept
We appreciate gifts of any amount.
