Boulder Concert Band

Considered to be one of the premier adult community bands in Colorado, the Boulder Concert Band has members drawn from throughout the greater Boulder and Front Range area. The Boulder Concert Band has a glorious tradition spanning more than 140 years. The first records of the ICC Silver Cornet Band, in the city of Boulder, dates back to 1870. In 1897 the larger Boulder Band organization was formed; it was said to be the best organization of its type in Colorado. The Boulder Municipal Band was formed decades later, and was the first to include women musicians. The Boulder Concert Band as we know it today was reorganized in 1976 by the late Hugh McMillen, former Director of Bands at the University of Colorado. The current organization has over 70 volunteer musicians from the business, professional, and educational communities in the Boulder County and Denver metro areas. The BCB provides our community with outstanding performances of traditional and modern concert literature.
