Spring Concert

The Columbia Community Concert Band will hold its Spring Concert on Friday, April 11, at 7:30 p.m. at Lexington Baptist Church located at 308 E. Main Street in Lexington. Admission is free. A flyer listing the pieces they will be performing is on the board across from the Church Office.


The Columbia Community Concert Band is an all-volunteer, adult, nonprofit organization that has grown from 14 members at its inception in 1981 to its present size of over 80 musicians. Band members come from all walks of life, representing a full gamut of occupations. Though very few are professional musicians, the majority were members of their all-state bands in high school and many performed in college or military bands. Lynn Martin is a member of the band and will be performing with them.


The band has performed for the South Carolina Music Educators Association three times and has also performed for national conventions of the American School Band Directors Association and the Association of Concert Bands. The band also performs yearly at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, SC.
