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. The UC Community Band operates 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.

Music
Here are the links for the 2025 season. Below are the digital part packets of all the music this season, minus a few we will pass out at the first few rehearsals. We will have paper copies/folders to pass out at the first rehearsal, but if you want to get a headstart on looking over the music you can access it below. We tried to place everyone on parts they indicated they were comfortable playing. Please stick to the assigned parts so we have a balanced sound and all parts are covered appropriately. *All parts were assigned based off of the information submitted on our sign up sheet. If you filled this out, you should have a part. Please email us if there are any errors. 2025 UC Community Band YouTube Playlist 2025 UC Community Band Part Assignments 2025 UC Community Band Part Packets |
