Suburban Concert Band

Although our instruments have been silenced since March 2020, we are hoping that we can resume making music together again this fall. Unfortunately it is still too early to know what fall will definitely bring, but we are tentatively setting a fall rehearsal start date of Thursday September 9. We welcome both professional and amateur musicians ages 16 and above from all communities throughout southeastern Wisconsin. We are hoping to present concerts in late October and early December. The exact rehearsal start date and concert dates will be posted on our website at suburbanbands.com once we have final confirmation. We are looking forward to once again bringing the best in concert band and swing band music to our audiences. Please see our website for more information regarding our band or call Pat (President) at 414-315-3788.
