The College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences proudly celebrates the San Antonio Brass Band for earning 2nd place in the First Section at the prestigious North American Brass Band Association (NABBA) Championships.

Led by Dr. Matthew Mireles, Chair of the Department of Music and Theatre Arts, the ensemble includes St. Mary’s students, faculty, alumni, and professional musicians from across the region. The group competed against top ensembles nationwide, securing 2nd place following performances on April 10–11 in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

This achievement marks back-to-back podium finishes for the band, building on its 3rd place finish in 2025 and reinforcing its growing national reputation.
“This achievement reflects the dedication, artistry, and collaborative spirit of these musicians,” said Dr. Mireles. “We are incredibly proud to see our community represented on a national stage.”

Since 2018, the San Antonio Brass Band has partnered with St. Mary’s to provide students with professional-level performance experience, mentorship, and high-impact learning opportunities—preparing them for success as performers, educators, and arts leaders.

St. Mary’s University remains committed to fostering transformative artistic experiences and partnerships that enrich both student success and the cultural life of San Antonio and beyond.
