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 three centuries!
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!
Mark your calendars for December 3rd as your Bangor Band brings to you a combined concert with the UMaine Symphonic Band! The music starts at 7:00 at the Center for Performing Arts.
Then, kick-off your holiday season with a very special afternoon of music featuring TWO concerts in a row at Bangor High School’s Peake’s Auditorium. The festivities begin at 1:00 with the 52nd anniversary of Tuba Christmas! Come and hear your favorite carols played by these talented musicians. And, plan to stay comfy in your seats at 2:00 as your Bangor Band brings you our annual Sounds of the Season Concert!
As always, our concerts are free of charge, but donations are certainly welcome!
The Conductors , Philip Edelman, Scott Burditt, Stephen Norris, Marisa Weinstein 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!
