Barnes & Noble Fundraising Opportunity on Dec 13, 2009

The Plano Community Band is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization recognized by the Internal Revenue Service. Each year, the band brings music to the citizens of Collin County with five summer concerts at Haggard Park in downtown Plano as well as formal indoor concerts in the spring and fall. The concerts feature a wide variety of wind band music themed for family audiences. We also perform at various official City of Plano events and for members of the Plano Senior Center.

The band continues to gain national attention. We were runner-up for the John Philip Sousa Foundation’s Sudler Silver Scroll award in 2006 and were the feature band for the Association of Concert Band’s (ACB) national convention in Pensacola, Florida in 2007. This national recognition continues to increase as we prepare to host the 2010 ACB convention.

Rehearsal space, music, and moving equipment between performance venues are some of the expenses we incur. We invite you to help us by becoming a Friend of the Plano Community Band.

We offer several different Friend of the Plano Community Band donation levels. All donations are tax deductible and donors will be appropriately recognized.
