The Longmont Concert Band
founded December 2003
The Longmont Concert Band
We got started in the Fall of 2003--but have very good
musicians and sound great. We are a full symphonic band and are
playing music from throughout the last century and this. This new organization carries on a long tradition of
a community band in Longmont, Colorado.
Richard Kohl, Conductor
During the school year, we rehearse every Wednesday evening at 7:00-9:00 p.m., in the Altona Middle School band room, located at 4600 Clover Basin Drive, one-half mile west of Airport Road; the band room is on the north side of the school, closest to the road.
Rehearsals for our 2011-2012 Season will begin Wednesday, August 24, 2011, at Altona Middle School.
If you've never played an instrument, get started practicing and come see us sometime. If you used to play, get started practicing and come see us very soon. If you currently play, then drop on by. We need percussion, but not all sections are filled out, so please visit and find your niche. There are no restrictions on where you live. We hope to represent the region surrounding Longmont, so all are welcome. While it is intended as an adult band, mature, enthusiastic, high school musicians are very welcome to join. Our age mix runs from 15 to 70-something. Please call Amy O'Donnell at 303-916-5161 for more information, or send us an email.
