The models include the BM-111 Marching Mellophone, the BM-311 Marching Baritone, and the BM-411 Marching French Horn. All debuted at the 2018 Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, California.

“Durability, playability, and projection are mandatory requirements for marching color brass,” says Phil Baughman, Brand Manager at E.K. Blessing.  “Blessing has upped their game in 2018 with three new improved models for the parade or field!  We have reconfigured the warps to a more compact tighter design which is more manageable for performance in motion.”
