Maplewood Community Band Rehearsal Tonight - Come join the band!

Rehearsal tonight for the Maplewood Community Band!  Come and join us!

Were you in your high school band?  Do you want the enjoyment of playing again?  We have a great opportunity for you!

Who are we?
The Maplewood Community Concert Band is made up of volunteer musicians of all ages and skill levels, from many towns and from all walks of life.  The common thread is they all share a passion for music -- love to play and love to perform.

Our performance repertoire  includes arrangements of classical and contemporary music, medleys, overtures, marches, seasonal music, children's music and more.

Who can join?
We welcome all woodwind, brass and percussion musicians of all ages regardless of skill level; however, high school level experience is recommended.

Out of practice?
Many of our musicians have return to playing their instrument after a long absence.  Has it been a while since you got that old band instrument out of the closet?  Some of our members hadn't played in 25 years or more!  Don’t worry, we know how to "get your skills back".

Community service is fun!
Our musicians not only enrich their own lives, but also the lives of everyone in our communities.  Our organization exists to provide free concerts for all, support music-related community and youth enrichment programs and continue the centuries-old tradition of the community band.  We are proud to contribute directly to the arts and culture of Maplewood and its surrounding communities and to support the amateur musicians throughout the area in continuing their love of playing.

Still not sure?
Stop by and sit in on a rehearsal or just have a listen.  We'd love to see you!
