The Upper Chesapeake Community Band was founded eighteen years ago. We are an all-age, all-volunteer organization whose purpose is to provide concert music for the surrounding community, and to give adult musicians a way to continue performing after leaving school. Our band plays year-round for local nursing homes, retirement centers, civic functions, parades, Fourth of July celebrations and Christmas concerts. We are supported in part by grants from the Cecil County Arts Council and the Maryland State Arts Council, and by the Rising Sun American Legion. The band has also appeared in concert at the Milburn Stone Theater four times doing two Christmas Concerts, "Showtime Spectacular" with the Showtime Singers of Ellicott City, MD. and celebrating our 15th anniversary.
The Upper Chesapeake Community Band is always looking for new musicians to join us. We especially need oboe, tenor sax, and French Horn, but can use more musicians in every area. We have members from ages 11 to senior citizens. They are of all walks of life and levels of musical ability (must be able to play grade 3 music), and there is no audition. If you play an instrument, or once played an instrument, and would be interested in joining us, send an e-mail from the contact us link or call our director at 410-658-4534 for more information.
