NORFOLK, Neb. – From Bach to the Beatles and Louie Armstrong to Stevie Wonder, there truly was something for every musical taste during a concert on Sunday afternoon.
A Touch of Brass performed a range of music at the Cox Activities Center Theatre. There was the fast-paced William Tell Overture to the leisurely Somewhere Over the Rainbow and plenty in between. The brass quintet has been entertaining audiences since 1984.
The group includes five talented musicians from northeast Nebraska and southeast South Dakota. The members are as follows:
David Bohnert, dean of arts and humanities at Wayne State College (WSC), on trumpet; Josh Calkin, director of bands and professor of low brass at WSC, on tuba; Kevin McLouth, director of instrumental studies at Northeast Community College, on trumpet; Randy Neuharth, retired director of instrumental studies at Northeast Community College, on trombone; and Gary Reeves, retired horn instructor at the University of South Dakota and Northern State College, who currently serves as an adjunct instructor at Morningside University, on horn.
