The Aurora Community Concert Band (ACCB) formed with the goal of providing opportunities for musicians to share the experience of live performances with audiences in Aurora and the surrounding communities. Through performance, we strive to foster community connections, celebrate musical diversity, and inspire a lifelong appreciation for the arts.

As our band grows, we are taking the important step of becoming a nonprofit organization. This will help us continue offering free and accessible concerts, expand our outreach, and ensure that community music in Aurora thrives for generations to come.

Why We’re Fundraising

Your support will help us strengthen our foundation by covering:

• Nonprofit Status (501(c)(3)) – Opening doors to grants, sponsorships, and long-term sustainability.

• Insurance – Protecting our members, instruments, and rehearsal/performance spaces so we can continue performing safely.

• Association of Concert Bands Membership – Connecting us with a nationwide network of ensembles and resources.

• Performance Licensing – Ensuring we can share the joy of music responsibly and legally with our audiences.

Why It Matters

Community bands don’t just make music, they build bridges. Our rehearsals bring together musicians of all ages and backgrounds. Our performances invite families, neighbors, and friends to gather and celebrate the arts. By supporting the Aurora Community Concert Band, you’re investing in:

• Free community concerts that make the arts accessible to all.

• Opportunities for local musicians to play, grow, and share their talents.

• A cultural presence in Aurora that uplifts and connects our city and surrounding communities.
