CPB Concert Band

Dear CPB!

CONGRATULATIONS on two AWESOME performances this weekend! Our performance at Festival in the Park was such a success that the Festival Director invited Charlotte Pride Band to perform for the event on an ANNUAL basis! GREAT JOB!

Our performance at Park Road Church was musical, meaningful and personal. I am thrilled with our development, heart and musicianship! THANK YOU!

WELCOME to all of our wonderful new members! We are all very excited to welcome you to our CPB FAMILY!

Rehearsal Schedule for this Thursday, September 28th

  • We will rehearse in performance order on Thursday. The focus will be to perform each of our works and get a good feel for tempo, style and musicality.

  • I have included performance links for each work to assist you in your preparation.

  • During our rehearsals, please take notes and bracket areas in your parts for you to practice prior to our next rehearsal.

  • LIAISONS, please make lists of sections you will address in our upcoming sectionals. Will will rehearse O Holy Night next week after we locate our missing score.
