Reminder: our Winter Concert is TONIGHT, Thursday, December 2, at 7:30 pm in the Washington-Liberty High School auditorium.

Please be at W-L warmed up and ready to play by 7:10. The band room will be available for warm-up and storing cases/coats/etc. starting at 6:30. In addition to our standard concert dress, Jim asks that everybody please wear a black mask if possible.

It’s not too late to invite friends, family, and coworkers! Admission is free.

Call time for band members is no later than 7:10 in the band room. The band room will be open from 6:30 onward to allow sufficient time for warming up.

Concert dress is all black for women (pants or a long skirt/dress, please) and a black tuxedo or suit for men with “the darkest tie you own”.

Bring your friends, bring your family, bring your coworkers!

Hi all, another quick reminder that rehearsal tomorrow evening, 10/26, will be held at Wakefield High School, not at Washington-Liberty. We’ll be back at W-L on 11/2.

Hi folks! Just a reminder, as announced at rehearsal tonight, rehearsal next Tuesday is at Wakefield High School due to a scheduling conflict with our usual room at W-L. We’ll be back in our regular spot on 11/2.

Hello ACB,

Our first rehearsal is still planned for Sept 21 at Washington-Liberty High School in Ballston at 7:00 PM. That said, we have some important safety protocols:

1. Masks will be required for all players. There are specialized masks available for woodwind and brass players available here. Please purchase one before rehearsals begin.
2. With the Delta surge, we are strongly encouraging all players to be vaccinated. As a small community organization we do not have the capacity to vet every player’s vaccination status — we can only beg that members of this band take the health and safety of its members seriously.

After a 17 month hiatus, we expect some rebuilding time will be necessary before we achieve our previous level of playing. We know that with patience we will get back there, and we can’t wait to make music again with all of you.

Hello ACB,

Per Jim, barring any new emergency, the Arlington Concert Band will resume on September 21st at Washington-Liberty High School at 7:00 PM (band room).

We can’t wait to see you again!

Hello ACB,

It’s looking likely that our hiatus will continue through at least the calendar year. We can’t wait to play together again and will share here as soon as we have a restart date.

Hello ACB,

Apologies for the late update. As you’re all aware at this point, ACB is on hiatus due to COVID-19. We hope you’re all staying safe!

Hello ACB,

March 20 and 21 will be the local band assessment for area high schools. Our own Leslie J, a band parent, is asking the members of ACB if they would be able to volunteer at this great community event. If you’re interested, you can sign on to one or several flexible shift options here.
