It’s a fun and energetic way to celebrate, and Justin Pierce’s Dallas Brass Band brings that same spirit to our performances in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

The band has been busy with recent performances, including leading Fat Tuesday parades at The Star in Frisco, home of the Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters.
