The Plano Community Band
Serving Plano, Texas Since 1979

The Plano Community Band is a volunteer organization made up of approximately 70 musicians from all walks of life who share a passion for music. The band performs a Spring concert and a Fall concert each year at the beautiful Eisemann Center in Richardson, but is best known for its Summer concerts at Haggard Park, abutting old downtown Plano. The Summer Series begins the first Monday in June, and performances at the park continue every other Monday evening for a total of five concerts. The band has themes for each concert including kids’ night, big band and a patriotic concert. The band also performs at the Plano Senior Center and the Plano Christmas Tree Lighting in Haggard Park.

The band rehearses every Monday night for two hours, and is fortunate enough to be able use the band hall at John Paul II High School in Plano. New members are invited to join the band in September and January. The band is a nonprofit organization sponsored in part by the Cultural Arts Council of Plano. The band is supported by the City of Plano, City of Richardson, member dues and from generous donors in the community, such as the Renaissance Dallas Richardson Hotel. There is never an admission charged for any of the band’s public performances.

The Plano Community Band is a proud member of the Association of Concert Bands, an international organization dedicated to the advancement of adult community bands. The band has performed at several of their national conventions as well as hosted the conventions in 1992 and 2010.
