Brass band "Dragačevske trube" was formed in March of 2013, as the successor of Jovica Pavlović's brass band which existed from 1996 to 2007 and won several awards like The Best Ethno Playing in Lobez, Poland 2006 or The Special Award for the Preservation of Folk Tradition in Kučevo 2007. The band has 9 members and it was helped and supported during its formation by Jovica Pavlović, father of the current leader of the band, Dragan Pavlović, who after playing accordion and going through music school, started playing trumpet at the age of 15.

The orchestra has a diverse repertoire, which goes from the old Serbian songs and kolo from Western Serbia, new folk songs and music from other parts of Serbia, especially the Southern and Eastern Serbia, to covers of some foreign and international songs.
