The “TB” has been together since 1967; most are alumni of the U of M band program. Several members are retired music educators. While the ensemble has enjoyed 57 years of performing together, the frequency of those performances has declined to about two per year as individuals now reside in four states including Massachusetts, Colorado, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Recent appearances include: The Cortez Colorado Cultural Center, Chanhassen High School (Minnesota), and The Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis.

The TB has played at Hennepin in 2015, 2019, and 2021.

The members of the TB are trumpets: Barry Fox, Chaska (Barry is a 60 year member of HAUMC); Mike Fuller, River Falls, Wisconsin; Mark Olson, Boston, Massachusetts; horn, Jim McCreary, St. Paul; trombone, Larry Vogel, Fairmont; euphonium, Bob Waggoner, Cortez, Colorado; and tuba, Eric Peterson, Minneapolis.
