The Bel Air Community Band has finally returned to our normal schedule! We currently have openings for bassoon and tenor sax. Most other sections are full and many have waiting lists. The Band rehearses on Monday evenings from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Patterson Mill High School. If you are interested in joining the BACB and are regularly available on Monday evenings for rehearsals and Sundays for most concerts, please complete the contact form. Please include your name, your email address, a phone number, the instrument(s) you play (except for percussion, you will be expected to supply your own instrument), and a brief synopsis of your playing experience.

It is with great disappointment that the BACB announces that we will be unable to perform our winter concert again this year. We're hoping Harford County Public Schools will allow adult parks and rec groups back in the schools in January. Fingers crossed!

In the meantime, a portion of our band will be performing carols at Bel Air's annual Tree Lighting ceremony at Shamrock Park on Sunday, December 5th at 4:00 p.m. (immediately after the parade). We hope to see you there!

With the upcoming retirement of long time music director Scott Sharnetzka, the BACB is in search of a new music director. If you are interested or know someone who may be interested, please contact us at BACB "at" verizon.net for an application.

The Bel Air Community Band would like to congratulate Scott Sharnetzka on his 25 years as music director of the BACB! Scott will be retiring later this year for some well earned rest and relaxation. He will be a tough act to follow!

The Bel Air Fall Fling scheduled annually at the Armory has been cancelled. The BACB Jazz Ensemble hopes to see you next year. Stay safe!
