Favorite Brass to the Future Song: ?

Background: Brittany Skiles is more or less responsible for getting Brass to the Future together. Her mother desperately needed some free entertainment for a New Years Eve performance in 2007, so Brittany talked to the soon-to-be members of Brass to the Future about joining up and getting some music together. In fact, Shrimp's membership in the group is most likely entirely due to his relationship with Brittany (although that can--and probably will be--disputed).

Now Brittany helps out in a variety ways, primarily as a photographer for the group. You can catch her and Laura Hyatt snapping pictures left at right at many Brass to the Future performances, as well as most Banas tournaments and special events. She also helps the band with their on-stage appearance, serving as an expert stylist with a keen eye toward the cutting edge of brass-related fashion.

Brittany played percussion for the Aiken High School Wind Ensemble and the Aiken High Marching Band. She still has a set of glockenspiel in her apartment.

Brittany is pursuing a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of South Carolina. One day every member of Brass to the Future will go to her for (free?) therapy.

Brittany is currently dating trombonist and Brass to the Future member Shrimp St. Thomas.
