Columbia Concert Band

Columbia Concert Band under the direction of Michael Blackman

The Columbia Concert Band (CCB) originally began as a 25-person group called "Different Notes For Different Folks," started during the summer of 1977. It was formed to give non-professional musicians the opportunity to perform while educating and entertaining the public in Columbia, Maryland, and the surrounding communities. The band became a non-profit organization and changed its name to Columbia Community Band, playing their first concert in May 1978.[1]
