Welcome to the Manatee Community Concert Band website.
Important Notice:
Due to the Coronavirus, and in an attempt to follow state and federal guidelines about large gatherings, we were forced to close our 2019-2020 season early and cancel our 2020-2021 in-person season. However, we were fortunate enough to receive a grant that allowed us to perform four virtual concerts for you during the 2020-2021 season!
We look forward to seeing you in-person very soon!

About the Band
The Manatee Community Concert Band performs a wide variety of music, from standard marches, Broadway and Movie hits, timeless swing classics, pop, classical and much more. Our goal has always been to provide the community a venue in which to perform as well as the opportunity to entertain our community with great musical selections. Members of this band come from all walks of life—collectively embracing over 2,100 years of musical experience. The expertise levels vary from members who have played in high school or college and now enjoy playing as a hobby since their retirement, to many who have been professional musicians for over 40 years, including some that have composed and arranged instrumental and choral music, and some that have directed their own bands.
Our members appreciate the experience received by participating in the weekly, fast-paced and
demanding rehearsals; others enjoy the anti-aging effects of keeping their mind sharp through the continued
practice of a life-long discipline. However, the common denominator is the love of music and the joy
that only performing music for an audience can bring.
The Manatee Community Concert Band is known for its dedication to excellence, whether playing for the local community or performing for community events. The band relies on donations from generous individuals and corporations who love music. Through your support we are able to introduce people of all ages to live concert music, providing musical experiences and playing opportunities for all ages. Through the power of music, we impact thousands of lives annually. We invite you to become involved in the Manatee Community Concert Band and join us in transforming our community and setting the stage for the present and future.
