The Raleigh Concert Band is a non-profit organization that provides adult musicians an opportunity to perform music in formal concert venues as well as for community events.
For its many years of performances at events such as the Fourth of July celebration and the Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony on the grounds of North Carolina's historic Capitol building, the band received the honorary title of "The State Capitol Band."
Organized in August 1978, the group was previously known as the Raleigh City Band and the Raleigh Community Band.
From a beginning roster of about 30 musicians, the band has grown to its current size of over 70 volunteer brass, woodwind, and percussion players.
Band members come from a variety of backgrounds and professions, including retirees, students, teachers, doctors, engineers, and computer programmers.
While some members have a formal background in music, most simply enjoy playing an instrument and performing for an audience.


The 70 members of The Raleigh Concert Band have one common goal, the desire to make music.

The band library has a wide repertoire including:
classical arrangements,
ragtime,
show tunes,
marches,
music for children,
and much more.
The music chosen for each concert is tailored to the audience.
