The energetic group show off their instrumental skills while setting their tunes to upbeat choreography that encourages everyone to dance along. With trumpet, trombone, and saxophone taking center stage, the Trumpet Chics provide their own brassy renditions of popular songs, with plenty of instrumental interludes in between to keep the music going.
