BAND EXTRAVAGANZA

A venture that is very rewarding for the Auburn Community Band is the annual Community Band Extravaganza. This is held on the first Sunday in August each year and as many as six community bands are put together in a mass band forum. There are typically 150 to 175 musicians in this mass band, which is held at the World War II Museum in Auburn. In 2009 the band is planning on opening Auburn’s new outdoor stage and making it their permanent home. This facility is in a beautiful wooded area in Auburn and has a 40’x60’ stage for a variety of performance mediums.
