The article you have created, St. Rita's Brassmen, was not suitable as a Wikipedia article. We do not have articles without any content except a link to another web site. Also, the page did not seem to serve any purpose other than to publicise your web site, which is contrary to Wikipedia's policy of not using Wikipedia for promotion. The article, and the other copy of the same page at User:Engreginaldhenrygmailcom/sandbox, will therefore be deleted.

In addition to the above, from what I have seen it appears very unlikely that "St. Rita's Brassmen" satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and if it doesn't then no article about them, no matter how it might be written, would be suitable for Wikipedia. My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start. If you would like to start contributing to Wikipedia on other subjects then I strongly suggest following that advice. If, on the other hand, your only interest is to publicise your band, then Wikipedia is not the right place for you. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 19:21, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
