Welcome to the Potomac Concert Band!
The Potomac Concert Band, located in Cumberland, Maryland, is a community concert band comprised of some of the area's
finest musicians. With a performance season that runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, the band plays at
local festivals, patriotic celebrations, downtown venues, nursing homes and parks, as well as occasional special
appearances in the Tri-State Region. The band takes pride in its repertoire of quality music appealing to a
wide audience of diverse age and musical preference.
Participation in the Potomac Concert Band is welcomed and encouraged. If you are able to play a band instrument
with a high school level of ability or above, you are welcome to join the band. To make it official, please
contact one of the directors and, if necessary, perform an audition.
If an in-person audition is not possible, then a video conference or recording is also accepted.
Funding for the band is provided in part by a grant from the
Allegany Arts Council,
local sponsors and private donors.
Special thanks to
St.
Paul's Lutheran Church for many years of allowing the band use of its
facilities for rehearsals, concerts, and housing the band's music library. Every time the band performs, a big thank-you is due St.
Paul's for their invaluable support. Thank you also to
Liberty Christian Fellowship
for allowing the band use of their facilities as a safe outdoor rehearsal space, following the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Potomac Concert Band is under the direction of
Dr. Brent Weber and Mr. Jay Moon.
