Chatfield Brass Band Music Lending Library
P.O. Box 578
Chatfield, MN 55923-0578
Phone: (507) 867-4170 if that doesn't work try
Phone: (507) 867-3275
We know that one of these phone numbers work and when it does, ask for Helen Mercer.

Concert Information Line: (202) 433-4011
Band Library: (202) 433-4298
