The Ann Arbor Concert Band has about 75 members.
While a few members have musical backgrounds, the majority play for the
fun of it. Member ages range from college student to retiree. Most of our
members live in the Ann Arbor area, but some come as far as Milan, Jackson
and Mount Clemens.
join the band
If you are interested in joining the band
and play at least at the high school level, please contact the band at the
following email address. You are then be asked to complete an information
form. Once the form has been reviewed the music director will
contact you and set up an audition time. The Ann Arbor Concert Band
strives for a balanced instrumentation and therefore an informal audition
is necessary before you join.

Monday following our last concert of the season (when we have our Annual
Business Meeting and Potluck).
