Dirty Pop at North Olmsted Homecoming Festival

A community band is a concert band or brass band ensemble composed of volunteer (non-paid) musicians in a particular geographic area. It may be sponsored by the local (municipal) government or self-supporting. These groups rehearse regularly and perform at least once a year. Some bands are also marching bands, participating in parades and other outdoor events. Although they are volunteer musical organizations, community bands may employ an artistic director (conductor) or various operational staff.
