Welcome to the online home of the Bangor Band. 2025 marks our 166th 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 the summer of 2025 draws 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 as we begin our autumn rehearsals, we want to express our gratitude to the UMaine School of the Performing Arts for giving us a wonderful room for our rehearsals!
Your Bangor Band will return this fall for our annual Harvest Concert on Sunday, November 2nd at 3:00pm at Bangor High School’s Peakes Auditorium. We hope you will join us once again as we bring to you new music that will take the chill out of the autumn air and have your toes a-tapping!
The Band and our Conductors, Philip Edelman, Scott Burditt, Stephen Norris and Conductor Emeritus, Curvin “Chip” Farnham hope to see you there, and as always, our concerts are free of charge, but donations are certainly welcome!
The conductors , Philip Edelman, Scott Burditt, Stephen Norris and Curvin “Chip” Farnham, Conductor Emeritus, and the musicians of the Bangor Band thank you for your continuing support. We look forward to seeing you at our concerts this fall!
