Our Mission

The mission of the Seattle Civic Band is to provide musical enjoyment to its members and to participate in the musical activities of Greater Seattle, including performances and workshops, as a service to the community.

We welcome players of all ages and skill levels, and strive to create an environment that is fun and welcoming, and fosters a passion to play and enjoy concert band music.

Playing with the Seattle Civic Band has been a joyful journey, blending community spirit with the love of music.
