About our Program
The Concord Public School Band Program consists of bands in grades 4-8 in the Concord, Massachusetts public schools and continues with the Concord-Carlisle High School Band Program.
Band begins in fourth grade in the town’s three elementary schools (Alcott, Thoreau, and Willard Elementary). Beginner band focuses on fundamentals and ensemble skills. In their second year, students build upon this foundation and may even branch out to other instruments in their family. Registration for elementary band takes place at the end of the year each year (for example, to participate in band in fourth grade, students register at the end of third grade). Registration is available here.
Band at Concord Middle School meets by grade level–sixth grade, seventh grade, and eighth grade band. The middle school also offers two auditioned after-school, co-curricular ensembles–Symphonic Band and Jazz Ensemble–for our most dedicated students.
The Concord bands are performance-based ensembles that perform in local concerts, community events, and concert festivals throughout the year.
