More Information about the Lafayette Concert Band…
The Lafayette Concert Band continues to make significant contributions to the
cultural life of Lafayette and
Acadiana
by providing its members with opportunities for musical growth and its audiences
with concerts of high quality. The LCB presents formal performances of
traditional and contemporary wind band literature as well as more informal
"pops" and outdoor concerts throughout the season.
A part of the
Lafayette
musical community since 1982, the LCB is comprised of 65 talented
woodwind, brass and percussion instrumentalists. Members come together
on Tuesday evenings to rehearse at the Edgar Martin Middle School Bandroom.
They travel from more than fifteen communities surrounding Lafayette
where they pursue careers as varied as accounting, education,
engineering, computer science, homemaking, banking, medicine, law and
retirement.
The
Lafayette Concert Band functions through the guidance of a Board of
Directors, who are active members of the band and who, in addition to
playing time, contribute many hours to the management of the
organization. Funding is provided by Season Memberships, Ticket Sales,
and Friends of the Lafayette Concert Band.
LCB is proud to have hosted the 1997 National Convention of the
Association of Concert Bands. Members of the Association from throughout
the United States were welcomed to the heart of "Cajun Country" and were
treated to the wonderful "joie de vivre" of Acadiana.
In 1999 the Lafayette Concert Band was one of two recipients of the
Sudler Silver Scroll,
an award recognizing community bands of excellence. The award is
administered by the

In 2001 the band accepted an invitation to perform at the National
