What makes a Brass Band different from typical Wind Ensembles and Concert Bands?

A British-style brass band is made up entirely of brass instruments and percussion—no woodwinds. Its unique combination of cornets, tenor horns, baritones, euphoniums, trombones and basses creates a rich, warm and powerful sound that sets it apart from a traditional concert band or wind ensemble.
