About our Bands  

  The Concert Band - 2009  

The 48 piece concert band has traced its roots back to a July 4, 1870 performance  by the St. Charles Brass Band.  Nancy Garza has directed the Band  since  its reorganization to a not-for-profit organization in 1993.  In  addition to a 13 week  summer concert series,  the  Band  performs  for  civic events,  retirement homes and City of St. Charles special events.

 

There will not be a Concert on July 2.

The Concert Band will be in the July 4 Parade which starts at 10 AM at Blanchette Park, winding through the city to main street.

The Concert Band will also perform on July 4 @ 5:45 PM in Frontier Park as part of Riverfest.

 

St Charles will celebrate the Bicentennial of it's incorporation in 2009. The Municipal Band will help celebrate by hosting 3 concerts during the summer which highlight the history of St Charles through music depicting the events. The three concerts are scheduled for June 11, July 9 and August 13.
