With performances in the Memphis area, Tennessee, and around the US, the MBQ has developed a reputation for outstanding artistic concert presentations. The group also has a keen interest in education, and regularly presents clinics and masterclasses to students of all levels. The members are Dr. David Spencer and Mr. Ben Lewis, trumpets; Mr. Daniel Phillips, horn; Dr. John Mueller, trombone and Dr. Charles A. Schulz, tuba.
