Suburban Concert Band starting its 27th Season of performing beautiful music.
The Suburban Concert Band is composed of both professional and amateur musicians (ages 17-85) from West Allis, Wisconsin and the surrounding Greater Milwaukee area. The group was organized by Conductor, Howard Emerson in 1983 and handed over to the direction of Henry Canitz with the goal of bringing quality concert music to the local community. That tradition continues as the concert band is now under the direction of Mr. Robert Rothwell. The Suburban Concert Band meets weekly (September through May) to rehearse music for 8-10 concerts per year. Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings, from 7:00 to 8:30 PM in the Band Room of Nathan Hale High School, 11601 W. Lincoln Ave., West Allis, Wisconsin. The players donate all rehearsal and performance time. Membership is open to all interested musicians. The Suburban Concert Band is sponsored by the West Allis Recreation Department.
