One of the things than I don't believe has been mentioned so far is that most British Bands are British Brass Bands. There is a much different sound from a British Brass Band because the instrumentation is made up mainly of conical bore instruments, the exception being the trombones. The conical bores make the sound of the music much more mellow.
