Update for tonight's concert (5/22/26):

Tonight's concert IS BEING MOVED to the James H. Clark Auditorium at Conway High School. We waited as long as possible to make this call, but because of the unpredictable weather today, we figured it would be better to be safe than sorry!

The auditorium is located at 2300 Prince St, Conway, AR 72034, and the concert will begin at 7:30 PM.

We look forward to seeing everyone tonight!

Conway Community Band 2026 Season

The Conway Community Band consists of local musicians from the Conway area who meet every summer to provide entertainment and outreach to the local community. The group rehearses on Monday evenings from 7:00 – 8:30 PM and performs three concerts throughout the summer.

Our first two concerts will be on the Kris Allen Stage in downtown Conway, while the July 2 concert will be at Beaverfork Lake as a part of the ‘Lights Over The Lake’ festival!

Rehearsals take place at either the Ricky Brooks Rehearsal Room (Room 120) in the Snow Fine Arts building at UCA or in the band room of Conway High School. The location of each rehearsal is communicated to the group well in advance.

We encourage musicians of all ages and ability levels to join us for a wonderful summer of music-making! There is no cost to join, and if you cannot make it to a rehearsal or concert here or there, that is perfectly fine!

We're accepting applications for positions on the Conway Civil Service Commission and the Robinson Cemetery Board.

Civil Service Commission

The Civil Service Commission is responsible for creating eligibility lists for uniform appointments and promotions within the Police and Fire departments. Additionally, the commission reviews and adjudicates appeals related to disciplinary actions. The City Council established a board of civil service commissioners for the Police and Fire departments, pursuant to Arkansas Code §14-51-102. Neither the Civil Service Commission nor any of the individual commissioners have any control over the normal and routine day-to-day operations of the Police and Fire departments, directly or indirectly (A.C.A §14-51-212).

Robinson Cemetery Board

The Robinson Cemetery Board was officially established in 2014 to oversee the maintenance and upkeep of the cemetery. This board will help to preserve the history of the cemetery and to establish policies and procedures for record preservation.
