Bay Concert Band is also known as “Second Wind.” You can imagine why! There are many of us who have decided to pull our old high school instruments out of the closet after many years of not playing … and those of us who fall into that category are very glad we did. Bay Concert Band is a family of friends who enjoy creating music together, performing for audiences in several venues and developing new friendships. Our members represent a diverse group, ranging from 19 to 80 years of age and coming from varied musical backgrounds. Some of us have a simple love of music; others are band directors, music teachers, highly accomplished musicians and music major college students.

Our main purpose is to promote the musical arts within our community and inspire and support youth who are interested in pursuing a career in music. To help young musicians, we offer a Scholarship program to assist them in attending music camps during the summer throughout Michigan.

Why not consider joining our band? Come join the fun and camaraderie! All former high school and college musicians are welcome to join us. Rehearsals are held every Tuesday evening from 7:15 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in the band room at Bay City Central High School. Use the door at the northwest end of the school. For more information on joining the band, please contact our conductor, David Kjellberg.

Also, if you would like to hear a certain genre of music, be sure to contact us.

We’re also interested in expanding our concerts to feature the performing arts! So if you’re a singer, an accomplished instrumentalist, pianist, dancer, storyteller, magician, juggler, etc., contact us. Let’s discuss the possibilities and partner together on some performances. Please contact any board member.
