Welcome!Columbia Bands, Inc. is a community-focused performance organization comprised of three different ensembles: the Columbia Concert Band, Flute Cocktail, and the Columbia Big Band. Here's what's happening in our little corner of Maryland:
Please visit our Columbia Bands YouTube page for virtual performances by all three ensembles - Columbia Concert Band, Columbia Big Band, and Flute Cocktail.
The CBI ensembles are taking steps to rehearse with masks (when applicable) and physical distancing. CBI is also moving ahead with a similar version of MASCB this summer. It's going to be a little weird for a while, but it's already better than 2020.
In the meantime, the Columbia Concert Band, Flute Cocktail, and the Columbia Big Band wish everyone good health and good music. We look forward to performing for you in a live space when this is all over! Donating to Columbia Bands will help us to continue providing great performances, and will support the arts as a whole. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity, which means your donation is tax-deductible. Receipts are available upon request.
