The Annapolis Brass Quintet came to my High School and performed a concert there (mid-70's). Unfortunately, it was for the whole school, so not a very receptive audience. They were terrific, however, and I definitely enjoyed it. I have an LP or two of theirs in my collection because of hearing them that day.
I remember that after a concert for loud, uninterested kids, they changed their serious encore to "Rubber Ducky" from Sesame Street. Seemed quite appropriate to those of us who were interested, and were trying to listen to the concert.
