Our Mission:


The purpose of the band is to cultivate, facilitate and broaden musical and cultural appreciation and activities for citizens of the surrounding communities.
 

Interested in Joining?

Are you a former musician or music educator? Is your instrument collecting dust? Do you miss making good music with your fellow musicians? 

If the answer is yes to one or more of these questions, you are warmly invited to attend a rehearsal with the Maine Community Band. 

We have immediate openings in all sections.

Our more pressing needs include Low Brass, Low Woodwind and Percussion.
There’s no need to worry about your proficiency. You’ll be surprised at how quickly your skills return once you begin playing regularly.

Our History - The First 150 Years

Founded in 1861, The Maine Community Band is believed to be one of the oldest community bands in the United States. While we do not know for certain the exact reason for the founding, it seems a logical suggestion might be that the band was formed to play for Union soldiers departing to fight in the U.S. Civil War. In any event, records and diaries reveal the existence of a band in Maine since 1861.
