The Thornton Community Band is an all-volunteer, non-profit community band created to share the gift of music with the North Denver area and surrounding communities. Like our motto states, artistry, entertainment and education are the three hallmarks of our band. We love to have fun and educate our audiences as well as the musicians that play in the band!
We are happy to share our music with you! Since inception in March of 2008, the Thornton Community Band has grown and matured into a highly-respected Symphonic Band with over 85 members. Our current schedule calls for Fall, Winter and Spring Concerts. We also perform special concerts for the Thornton Winterfest, 4th of July, and other outdoor summer programs.
Mission Statement of the Thornton Community Band:
a) To provide a continuing opportunity for community musicians to perform music that is challenging and
interesting to both musicians and the audience.
b) To serve the community through performing a variety of band and ensemble music via formal concerts and
community events.
c) To encourage and assist young musicians in developing and pursuing the love of performance music.
Once it was clear that the Thornton Community Band Board of Directors was committed to the establishment of a viable community service organization, Frank Newton was able to secure $1000.00 seed money from Thornton Arts, Sciences and Humanities Council to get the band started. The membership grew quickly during February, due in large part to the online “join the band” link on the TCB website created by Leonard Carabelos. Under the excellent direction of Dr. David Kish, the Thornton Community Band was ready to begin rehearsals on March 13, 2008 with 75 members, 25 of whom had participated in the Mapleton Public Schools alumni bands mentioned above.
