The Madison (Alabama) Community Band is an all-volunteer organization uniting individuals of different ages and backgrounds for a common passion - musical performance An all-volunteer organization, the band is comprised of musicians of all ages and backgrounds. Founded in 1993, the Madison Community Band continues a long tradition of community bands by providing musical performance opportunities f
or its members and promoting and encouraging the arts community in Madison county and surrounding communities. The band, which has grown from fifteen members to sixty-plus members, performs annually at community-wide events in Huntsville, Decatur and Guntersville, Alabama, as well as Fayetteville, Tennessee. Aptly named, the Madison Community Band is truly a “community” band. The band’s members come from a variety of backgrounds and represent a wide-range of ages, from middle school students to retirees. Nearly all of the band’s members have had previous ensemble experience, whether in high school, college or even professional ensembles. For many of the members, the Madison Community Band allows them to continue playing their instruments in a band setting, an opportunity that they would not have without the community band. If you are interested in joining the "100 Acre Band" and have at least two years of playing experience or private lessons, we need YOU! All sections are open to new members. Students are always welcome and encouraged to join us! There are no audition requirements or dues to join MCB, so what are you waiting for?
