Professional and College Concerts

We encourage everyone in band and anyone taking music to attend professional or college concerts. So we created a list. Please do not take this as a complete list of concerts to go to.

Most concerts are free. However, many of the free concerts require that you pick up tickets before the concert.

Also, please don't go to any of the listed concerts without first visiting the web site link provided to get more details and to ensure that the concert is still occurring as scheduled. Some of the concert sites have special parking and ID requirements. Another reason to check the links is to see which of the military bands is performing. Each branch of the military has several groups of musicians from duets to full orchestras of a few hundred people. You won't be able to tell just from this page which of the groups will be playing. The band hotlines are useful for detailed information and late updates.
