The Premiere Concert of The Saint Augustine Community Band

The Premiere Concert of The Saint Augustine Community Band

Presented by The Saint Augustine Community Band at Kirk Auditorium at the Florida School of the Deaf and Blind

After many decades of dormancy, the NEW Saint Augustine Community Band is back in full swing!  It has been many years since the last time this band has played.  Under musical director, Geoffrey Magnani, the nearly 60 member band is making its public debut in their premiere concert performance.  

The Saint Augustine Community Band is made up of local (and not so local) instrumentalists with ages ranging from 16 to 79.  Some members drive up to 25 miles to come to weekly rehearsals in the band room of the Saint Augustine High School.  The band rehearses from 7-9pm on Monday nights and all are welcome to come and listen to the open rehearsals.

The concert on the 28th will feature music by Frank Ticheli, Frank Erickson, Jack Stamp, John Philip Sousa and more!  A special patriotic tribute will be performed honoring all servicemen and women currently serving or retired from our armed forces.  A special performance by the Old City Clarinets will also feature some of the band members.

There is NO charge for this concert but donations will be greatly appreciated in supporting the start-up of this historic band.  There will be a reception immediately following the concert, courtesy of Music and Arts in Jacksonville.

Come out and start off the New Year right with an evening of fine music and relaxation.

The band looks forward to the continued promotion of the arts in all performance venues in the beautiful, historic city of Saint Augustine.

If anyone in the county or surrounding area is interested in playing in the band, feel free to contact Geoffrey Magnani at saintaugustinecb@gmail.com for more details.  You can find us on Facebook - ‘The Saint Augustine Community Band’.
