A Long Tradition

The Story

The band has an interesting and unique history, both in different musicians and concerts dating back as early as its formation in 1894. Below you will see conductors of the past and articles appearing in several sources reporting on the band's activity throughout the past.
We are a dedicated group of professional and serious amateur musicians who range in age from high school through 99.

The Wakefield Concert Band has evolved in countless ways throughout its more than 100 year history.   We provide a place for community musicians to develop their skills, have fun, entertain, and raise money for charity. 


From classical music to jazz, pop and traditional marches, the Wakefield Concert Band's repertoire has grown to include works from Claude Smith, Percy Grainger, Irving Berlin, Holst, Leroy Anderson, John Philip Sousa and many more.
