Soak up the Summer with the UC Community Band.

There is no better way to stay musically involved than to join a community band such as the one offered through the UCBAA and the UC Bearcat Bands. The UC Community Band operates in this capacity from May through the end of July each year. The band typically rehearses on Wednesday evenings. We perform about 4-5 times in a variety of arts centers, parks and community centers throughout the Tri-State.  

Who can participate?

​The UC Community Band is open to anyone with former experience playing a musical instrument and is a Junior in high school or older.

When & where do you meet?

Rehearsals typically begin the first Wednesday of May and continue on Wednesday evenings through our last concert at the end of the summer, in July. Rehearsals are from 7pm to 9pm in the Rockwern Band Center - 147 Corry Blvd., Cincinnati, OH 45219.  Concerts may not always fall on a Wednesday.

​Come join us!
