In this 32nd year, we are reminded of the incredible fortune of our founding and the influence that Paul Droste's vision brought to the Brass Band movement — not only in Central Ohio (long recognized as the home of the US brass band movement), but also throughout the United States.  So, as we celebrate 32 years of history as the Brass Band of Columbus, many other organizations can say thank you as well to Paul Droste for bringing this genre to so many.
