Musicians
The Boulder Concert Band has approximately
70 members drawn from throughout
the greater Boulder area.
The first records of a performing band in
the city of Boulder date back to 1870. The
ICC Silver Cornet Band, as it was known,
performed weekly concerts in the pioneer
town of Boulder. In the spring of 1897 a
larger band organization was formed. This
group, called the Boulder Band, was said
to be the best organization of its type in
Colorado. Several decades later, the Boulder
Municipal Band was formed and was the first
to include women musicians.
The Boulder Concert Band as we know it today
was reorganized in 1976 by the late Hugh
McMillen, former Director of Bands at the
University of Colorado. Still considered
to be one of the premier adult community
bands in the state, the current organization
has over 70 volunteer musicians. Its members
are from the business, professional, and
educational communities in the Boulder County
and Denver metro area.
The primary goals of the BCB are to provide
our community with outstanding performances
of traditional and modern concert literature,
to enrich the cultural experience of the
audience and performers, and to provide a
community organization for adults who wish
to continue to play their instruments after
completing high school or college.
