The 2008-2009 regular concert series consists of four performances. The concert dates have not been finalized, yet. But, we are currently trying to lock in the dates listed below at the Mountain View High School Sue E. Wall Auditorium, 3500 Mountain Lion Drive. All performances are free and open to the public, with free-will donations accepted at all performances.
When you arrive, you're met with a series of hors d'oeuvres, amuse-bouche and appetizers, each of which is designed to stimulate your appetite. In music, composers write fanfares, overtures, and preludes to whet your musical appetite. The Loveland Concert Band welcomes you to our new home - the Mountain View High School Sue E. Wall Auditorium. Once you experience these musical appetizers, you'll be hungry for more of the Loveland Concert Band.

We're sure this won't be your only holiday party, but it will be one of your most beloved ones. In addition to the holiday music, we'll be featuring music made up of "conversation" between the various instruments in the band, giving you the feeling of socializing before the big holiday meal.

Playing on the phrase "suites for the sweet", we finish our party with a collection of musical suites. Each of these suites is made up of a variety of movements, with their own texture -- like a cherry pie a-la-mode. We know you'll have plenty of room for our musical dessert -- and the best part is you won't have to go on a diet after the program!
