Dupont Brass

Originally composed of five music majors from Howard University trying to raise money for tuition during the Christmas season, they have grown to a 9-piece ensemble consisting of brass, a rhythm section, and vocalists. Gaining popularity from playing at local Metro stations, DuPont started professionally playing for weddings, banquets, and other private events in the surrounding area. Thanks to the foundation laid in their earlier years, DuPont has had the opportunity to perform in conjunction with the D.C. Jazz Festival, The Washington Performing Arts Society, The Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, and The National Cannabis Festival. Consistently touching the community's hearts with their heartwarming testimony, DuPont has been featured on WPFW's "Live at Five" three times and the Washington Post Newspaper six times. Recently, they made their local television debut on WHUT's "DMV the Beat" on PBS.
