Too bad they're not a tuba-euph quartet:

The Goober Tubers....

Atlanta?

Jackass Brass

of course, in homage to the humble mule which was the backbone of all of Georgia's resurrection after the Wa-wh.

The problem is finding something original, that NOBODY has ever used, like

The Woodwind Brass Quintet

no?, how about

The Quintic Brass Quintet

The Quaintest Brass Quintet

The Brusque Brass Quintet

maybe something topical, like

The Burkha Brass Quintet

For something close to the heart, how about

Victoria's Secret Brass or some variant thereof.

Call yourself the "Whatever" Brass Quartet and then say you are the largest quartet in the world.....

Is there a geographic area, river or valley near your area. Or is there a cultural or ethnic concentration of the group.?

I've always liked Heavy Metal but in my city that name is already taken.

Are you talking to me, or one of the other seven guys?

Almost everyone I know in brass quintets or string quartets has been asked that question at least once.

4 WASPs and a WASB (?)

Brassturbaters

A good name for getting church gigs.

OK. Brass-pheming Brassturbaters.

(Brassturbatees might be a little too much.)

I've never used the name, but I always thought "Willard and the Bowling Trophies" would make a good name for a musical group.
