Welcome to the online home of the Bangor Band. 2024 marks our 165th Birthday, making us one of the oldest, continuous community bands in the United States. We have been performing concerts at various venues throughout the greater Bangor area since our inaugural season in 1859 and are proud of our musical tradition in serving countless generations of Bangorians for the past 165 years!
As 2024 comes to a close, the conductors and musicians of the Bangor Band would like to sincerely thank you, our audience and local businesses, for your support throughout the year! We also want to give a shout-out to Bangor Parks and Recreation for housing and sponsoring us year-round and also, to express our gratitude to the UMaine School of the Performing Arts for giving us a wonderful room for our rehearsals!
And after a short winter’s nap, rehearsals will begin again on January 21 to prepare for our next two concerts in April.
We invite you to join us at Bangor High School’s Peakes Auditorium on Sunday, April 13 as we present our annual Members Memorial Concert at 3:00.
On Tuesday, April 22 at 7:00, also at Peakes Auditorium, your Bangor Band will be joined by the UMaine Collegiate Chorale and the Acadia Choral Society to present “Mother Earth: A Celebration in Song.
Until then, from our house to your house, we wish you the most wonderful holiday season ever!
As always, our concerts are free of charge, but donations are certainly welcome!
The conductors , Philip Edelman and Scott Burditt and musicians of the Bangor Band thank you for your continuing support and we look forward to seeing you at all of our concerts in 2025!
